Hi

I guess it was an intentional choice to not use an “area” in the commit
message?

I found this similar patch which used `*` as the area: abcb66c614c (*:
fix typos which duplicate a word, 2021-06-11); review here:

This would be more conventional:

    Used regex to find these typos:

        (?<!struct )(?<=\s)([a-z]{1,}) \1(?=\s)

Either that or code fence (MarkDown style).

I can confirm that this patch only does that.  Except:

---
[…]
-Suppose that that central repository has this history:
+Suppose that the central repository has this history:

Here the doubled “that” is replaced with “the” which makes the sentence
correct.  Good.

There are also no grammatically correct “that that” constructs that have
been removed.

I was wondering if typo fixes are done for released-released versions
(not going through RC).  But the aforementioned patch abcb66c614c does
fix a release note or two for some old versions.
