So here is an solution based on the "write_file() is primarily to produce text, so it should be able to correct the incomplete line at the end" approach.

The first one is Peff's idea to consolidate callers in "am", in a more concrete form.

The second is the fix to $gmane/276238.

The remainder is to clean up write_file() helper function. All callers except for two were passing 1 as one parameter, whose meaning was not all obvious to a casual reader.

In patch 3/5, we flip the default behaviour of write_file() to die upon error unless explicitly asked not to with WRITE_FILE_GENTLY flag, and change the two oddball callers to pass this new flag.

In patch 4/5, we enhance the default behaviour of write_file() to complete an incomplete line at the end, unless asked not to with WRITE_FILE_BINARY flag; nobody passes this because all existing callers want to produce a text file.

In patch 5/5, the transitional noise left by patches 3 and 4 are cleaned up by updating the non-binary callers not to add LF themselves and by changing the callers that pass 1 as flags parameter to pass 0 (as bit (1<<0) is a no-op since patch 3/5).

The series is built on top of b5e8235, the current tip of the pt/am-builtin-options topic.

Junio C Hamano (5):
  builtin/am: introduce write_state_*() helper functions
  builtin/am: make sure state files are text
  write_file(): introduce an explicit WRITE_FILE_GENTLY request
  write_file(): do not leave incomplete line at the end
  write_file(): clean up transitional mess of flag words and terminating LF
