Your patch looks fine to me. I don't think it's urgent to change, but it
looks correct nonetheless.

These Cc trailers can be removed. (They're not entirely unprecedented,
but I can only find ~200 examples in git.git's history).

The text before your patch should include an article so it reads "with
[the] NUL character" instead of "with NUL character".

So I think the right post-image would be: "separate paths with the NUL
character".

Thanks,
Taylor
