Heh, that was "should not be", but I guess it was probably obvious.

Sorry for the noise.

I am not sure it is very easy yet but as Change-id: ... line are
trailers, you can do that with git interpret-trailers.

For example:

$ echo -e "\nChange-id: stuff\nOther: thing"  | git -c
trailer.Change-id.ifexists=replace interpret-trailers --trim-empty
--trailer Change-id=

Other: thing

The idea is that the above command replaces an existing "Change-id:
stuff" trailer with an empty "Change-id:" trailer and then removes all
the empty trailers.

Best,
Christian.
