[PATCH] Fix '\ No newline...' annotation in rewrite diffs

From
ABAdam Butcher <dev.lists@jessamine.co.uk>
Date
Aug 5, 2012, 07:06 UTC
Message-ID
<1344150365-86764-1-git-send-email-dev.lists@jessamine.co.uk>
In-Reply-To
<7vobmq6sd9.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org>

When a file that ends with an incomplete line is expressed as a complete rewrite with the -B option, git diff incorrectly appends the incomplete line indicator "\ No newline at end of file" after such a line, rather than writing it on a line of its own (the output codepath for normal output without -B does not have this problem). Add a LF after the incomplete line before writing the "\ No newline ..." out to fix this.

Add a couple of tests to confirm that the indicator comment is generated on its own line in both plain diff and rewrite mode.

Updates:
  - replace commit msg with revised suggestion from Junio
  - remove hardcoded 'No newline...' in tests and simplify
