Hmm, so this only adds 'term' if not already present *and* if 'sb' is
not empty, which doesn't seem to match the documentation which says
that it "ensures" termination.

But, is that reasonable behavior? Intuitively, I'd expect 'term' to be
added when 'sb' is empty:

    if (!sb->len || sb->buf[sb->len - 1] != term)
        strbuf_addch(sb, term);

strbuf_complete_line()'s existing behavior of not adding '\n' to an
empty string may have been intentional, but actually smells like a
bug.
