I do not find the "remove trailing newline" so odd.  Didn't it
come because you sometimes needed to _not_ add it?

We've had a few threads on the list about what to do with:

	GIT_EDITOR='emacs -nw'

I think David's 08874658b450600e72bb7cb0d0747c1ec4b0bfe1
(git-sh-setup.sh: make GIT_EDITOR/core.editor/VISUAL/EDITOR
accept commands) is a sensible to deal with this issue, and
prefer to see the same semantics kept in the C version.
