Avoid having "This patch" or "This commit" in the commit message. It is
tautologically useless.

Also, do

$ git grep 'This patch' Documentation/process

for more details.

I could use a reasoning here, as in, "gawk manual doesn't have those two
characters in the list here:

https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/html_node/Escape-Sequences.html"

or so.

That is supposed to say what exactly? That it still does what it is
expected to do?

Leaving in the rest for Masami.

Thx.
