With git 2.38.1 under Debian, when I use "git cherry-pick -x"
on a commit such that the last line of the log message starts
with "note:" (case insensitively), the blank line before the
"cherry picked from commit" line is missing.
For instance:
New commit
foo
nOtE:
(cherry picked from commit 3ba643e2eec4bdc1cd46b478ab36ee0707d241c2)
"git cherry-pick -x" takes care not to add a blank line if there are
trailers such as Signed-off-by: at the end of the message (if it did
then the trailers would no longer be recognized as trailers as they
would not be the last paragraph). In this case the "nOtE:" line looks
like a trailer and so no blank line is added.
I can see it is annoying in this case but I'm afraid I don't have any
ideas of how we could avoid it without breaking the case where the
message does contain trailers.
