Hi. If a file does not contain newline in the last line, and the file has changed somewhere in other branch, and the newline has not been not added in that change, when I cherry-pick the commit, the commit does contain the newline in the last line. This sometimes leads to conflict and in general looks unexpected. Such files are not uncommon nowadays and however bad it is, I think merging and cherry-picking should try to keep is as long as the newline is not added in some of the changes. Are there any option to preserve the absence of the closing newline? Or maybe the commands should preserve it unconditionally? -- Max
