[PATCH 2/2] git-merge-file: do not add LF at EOF while applying unrelated change

From
Max Kirillov <max@max630.net>

Message-ID
<1403984243-22717-3-git-send-email-max@max630.net>

If 'current-file' does not contain LF at EOF, and change between 'base-file' and 'other-file' does not change any line close to EOF, the 3-way merge should not add LF to EOF. This is what 'diff3 -m' does, and seems to be a reasonable expectation.

The change which introduced the behavior is cd1d61c44f and was about union merge. The union merges are tested in the t6026-merge-attr, and merge-file in general are tested in t6023-merge-file. Add tests "merge conflicting with --.." there, to verify that the fix does not break anything.

Also add tests "merge without conflict (missing LF at EOF, away from change in the other file)" and "merge does not add LF away of change", to demonstrate the changed behavior.
