The complete message in a commit and tag object is `contents`.
Its first line is `contents:subject`, where subject is the concatenation
of all lines of the commit message up to the first blank line. The next
-line is 'contents:body', where body is all of the lines after the first
+line is `contents:body`, where body is all of the lines after the first
blank line. The optional GPG signature is `contents:signature`. The
first `N` lines of the message is obtained using `contents:lines=N`.
Additionally, the trailers as interpreted by linkgit:git-interpret-trailers[1]
-are obtained as 'contents:trailers'.
+are obtained as `trailers` (or by using the historical alias
+`contents:trailers`). Non-trailer lines from the trailer block can be omitted
+with `trailers:only`. Whitespace-continuations can be removed from trailers so
+that each trailer appears on a line by itself with its full content with
+`trailers:unfold`. Both can be used together as `trailers:unfold,only`.
For sorting purposes, fields with numeric values sort in numeric order
(`objectsize`, `authordate`, `committerdate`, `creatordate`, `taggerdate`).
