Re: [PATCH 4/5] trailer: reuse ignore_non_trailer() to ignore conflict lines

Yeah, it won't be as efficient as using only one strbuf and only byte
oriented functions, and it looks much less manly too :-) But over time in
Git we have developed a number of less efficient but quite clean
abstractions like strbuf, argv_array, sha1_array and so on, that we
are quite happy with.

Actually, all these examples you gave are fairly efficient and clean
abstractions.  I find it insulting to pretend that the "one line per
strbuf" is in the same league.  It isn't.

And it is not about manliness.
