 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
-Help parsing or adding 'trailers' lines, that look similar to RFC 822 e-mail
+Parse or add 'trailer' lines, that look similar to RFC 822 e-mail
 headers, at the end of the otherwise free-form part of a commit
 message.
Is that a grammatically incorrect sentence?

The command does help doing these two things, but we can say the
command does these two things without closing clarity, so I do not
have an objection to the updated text (the only "ungrammatical" part
may be that ", that look" should probably be "that look"), but I am
not sure if "fix grammar" is a good explanation for this commit.
