Ok I figured out my confusion. The repository I am working with did commits with "git commit --cleanup=verbatim" thus do not have a newline. This is why I thought there was an inconsistency. > So I don't think "inconsistent with git-commit" is a compelling > argument, unless I'm missing something. Agreed, but now I guess I would argue that it is inconsistent because it lacks a "verbatim" option like git-commit has. I would like to see an argument like this for commit-tree but a clean way to add this option didn't immediately jump out at me. > And definitely it does not when taking the message in via stdin. I'm not seeing this, I see commit-tree as adding a new line even via stdin (and the code seems to corroborate this), unless I missed something. ~Ross
