It might be intended for other purposes, for example instructions: To try out the new foobar flag, execute the following script: git apply --foobar << EOF--- a.txt 2020-02-04 01:09:27.927026571 -0500 +++ c.txt 2020-02-04 01:06:57.404688233 -0500@@ -1 +1 @@ -AA +BBEOF indenting would break the script, and make it harder for users to follow the instructions.
Sorry, but that sounds like a made-up example to me. Why would anybody write that in the log message, instead of placing it in the documentation? The log message will be lost to those who receive tarballs, and even to those who clone the source it needs active effort to dig one particular change out.
