Junio,
the current git-stripspace leaves extra newlines at the end, causing ugly
commit logs in "git log". I assume/suspect that it's the recent
"incomplete line" handling (that I acked, bad me), but I didn't actually
test.
Trivially tested thus:
[torvalds@g5 git]$ git-stripspace <<EOF
> a
>
> EOF
a
[torvalds@g5 git]$
note the extra unnecessary newline..
