Missing trailing newline with git log --pretty=format

Hello,
with the latest version of git from right now (e986ceb):

While trying to get a reverse list of commit ids, I noticed that git log prints newlines between commits, but not at the end. This results in two joined lines with:

	$ git log --pretty=format:%h HEAD^^..HEAD | tac
	aab3b9a7d4e3a7
	e986ceb
Any chance of getting this fixed?

Thanks, Andreas
