Re: [PATCH] rev-list: restore the NUL commit separator in --header mode

I did some searching, and we do use sed so I replaced it with sed \$!d
which appears to work. I think we should probably implement a
test_ends_with_nul or something.

As it is "a stream editor that shall read one or more text files", I
do not think "sed" is any better (or any worse) than "tail -n" from
the portability point of view.  They both may happen to work on GNU
systems.
