Or am I worrying too much?

No, I think your concerns are valid, we should go with (2) and DTRT. 
Does the updated patch address your concerns? If so I can send a new 
version.

Assuming the internal blame algorithm correctly works with such an 
input, I'd be happier with an approach to allow users to tell the 
difference. The --porcelain output was designed to be extensible, and it 
might make sense to show the "this line is incomplete" as a separate 
bit, though.

Sorry, you lost me.  If, say, line 614 is the last line that does not end 
in a new line, if I ask for it to be blamed, I want to know who is 
responsible for the current form of line 614.

Not whether the line ends in a new line or not.

Yeah, I know.

I was primarily worried about making the output format into something
Porcelains (that read from --porcelain format) cannot reconstruct the
original text from.

See Message-ID: [ref] for a revised
suggestion.
