[PATCH v2 3/3] gitattributes: disable blank-at-eof errors for clar test expectations

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
Date
Dec 6, 2025, 11:47 UTC
Message-ID

The clar unit testing framework carries a couple of files that contain expected output for its self-tests. Some of these files expectedly end with a blank line at the end of the file, which Git would consider to be a whitespace error by default.

Teach our gitattributes to ignore those errors.
