interpret-trailers: add an option to show only existing trailers

peff · gitster · commit fdbdb64f4995 · 2017-08-15T11:13:58.000-07:00
It can be useful to invoke interpret-trailers for the
primary purpose of parsing existing trailers. But in that
case, we don't want to apply existing ifMissing or ifExists
rules from the config. Let's add a special mode where we
avoid applying those rules. Coupled with --only-trailers,
this gives us a reasonable parsing tool.
