[PATCH 4/5] write_file(): do not leave incomplete line at the end

From
Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Date
Aug 24, 2015, 17:09 UTC
Message-ID
<1440436186-7894-5-git-send-email-gitster@pobox.com>

All existing callers to this function use it to produce a text file or an empty file, and a new callsite that mimick them must end their payload with a LF. If they forget to do so, the resulting file will end with an incomplete line.

Introduce WRITE_FILE_BINARY flag bit, which no existing callers pass, and unless that bit is set, make sure that write_file() adds an extra LF at the end of an incomplete line as necessary.
