What the -z option does is to replace the normal "\n" that delineates commits from each other with a "\0". And we only put that delimeter in *between* commits, not *after* commits. The reason? It's prettier. Do a git log -1 to get a single commit, and notice how we do *not* add an empty line at the end (or beginning), and compare that to git log -2 that shows two commits, and has an empty line in *between*. Now, add the "-z" flag, and notice how that empty line is now replaced by a "\0" character instead. So you should think of the "\0" as being a delimeter that goes between commits, not something that "ends" the commit. It's not a "end of record" thing, it's a "between records" thing.
