This change makes it such that commit-tree -F never appends a newline character to the supplied commit message (either from file or stdin). Previously, commit-tree -F would always append a newline character to the text brought in from file or stdin. This has caused confusion in a number of ways: - This is a plumbing command and it is generally expected not to do text cleanup or other niceties. - stdin piping with "-F -" appends a newline but stdin piping without -F does not append a newline (inconsistent). - git-commit does not specifically append a newline to the "-F" input. The issue is somewhat muddled by the fact that git-commit does pass the message through its --cleanup option, which may add such a newline. But for commit-tree to match "commit --cleanup=verbatim", we should not do so here.
