From: Jacob Keller <jacob.keller@xxxxxxxxx> When adding support for prefixing output of log and other commands using --line-prefix, commit 660e113ce118 ("graph: add support for --line-prefix on all graph-aware output", 2016-08-31) accidentally broke rev-list --header output. In order to make the output appear with a line-prefix, the flow was changed to always use the graph subsystem for display. Unfortunately the graph flow in rev-list did not use info->hdr_termination as it was assumed that graph output would never need to putput NULs. Since we now always use the graph code in order to handle the case of line-prefix, simply replace putchar('\n') with putchar(info->hdr_termination) which will correct this issue. Add a test for the --header case to make sure we don't break it in the future. Implement a helper function test_ends_with_nul() to make it more obvious what sort of check we are looking for. Reported-by: Dennis Kaarsemaker <dennis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Jacob Keller <jacob.keller@xxxxxxxxx> --- Here's my solution, with an updated test using a helper function based on using sed (which I think is more portable than tail -n1 ?). The change actually is very simple. I ran the test suite and it appears to be not breaking anyone else since the normal case is hdr_termination="\n" except in the cases where it needs to be NUL.
