Dear diary, on Sat, Mar 18, 2006 at 11:27:45AM CET, I got a letter where Alexandre Julliard <julliard@xxxxxxxxxx> said that... > Without this patch, the last line of an exclude file is silently > ignored if it doesn't end with a newline. > > Signed-off-by: Alexandre Julliard <julliard@xxxxxxxxxx> $ echo -en "a\nb" | wc -l 1 In UNIX, a line is a string terminated by a newline, therefore the blob past the last newline character is not really a line at all. ;-) Perhaps a warning might be in order. Why don't you just add the trailing newline to the file? -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ Right now I am having amnesia and deja-vu at the same time. I think I have forgotten this before. - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
