$ git log -z --format='%cE' -5 | od -c 0000000 g i t s t e r @ p o b o x . c o 0000020 m \n g i t s t e r @ p o b o x . 0000040 c o m \n g i t s t e r @ p o b o 0000060 x . c o m \n g i t s t e r @ p o 0000100 b o x . c o m \n g i t s t e r @ 0000120 p o b o x . c o m \n 0000132

Why are all those newlines in there? Bug? Misfeature? Feature? If feature, how do I ensure \0 in my output? If I add %x00, I get both \0 *and* \n in output. :(
