As I read this reference, such handling of completely empty lines is done only in interactive mode, ie. when python is attached to a terminal... Git is about storing python scripts, and not "interactive input"; therefore, this seems to be a non-issue.

I just checked it. The following, with a completely empty line 3, is working as expected, and not looping on an empty statement: =================== a = ['cat', 'window', 'defenestrate'] for x in a:

  print x, len(x)
===================
