This issue occurs with "git cherry-pick -x", so that one could expect
documentation there. Since I don't use trailers (this was a false
positive), I wouldn't have the idea to look at the --trailer
documentation.

I think that what could be interesting there is a
trailer.<token>.separators option (assuming that one can
use an empty list of separators to disable a token), but
that doesn't exist.
