Junio, the current git-stripspace leaves extra newlines at the end, causing ugly commit logs in "git log". I assume/suspect that it's the recent "incomplete line" handling (that I acked, bad me), but I didn't actually test. Trivially tested thus: [torvalds@g5 git]$ git-stripspace <<EOF > a > > EOF a [torvalds@g5 git]$ note the extra unnecessary newline.. Linus - : 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
