Junio C Hamano6fb124c2008-06-13 10:04:01[diff] [blame]835provides "terminator" semantics instead of "separator" semantics. In

837newline) appended, rather than a separator placed between entries.
838This means that the final entry of a single-line format will be properly
839terminated with a new line, just as the "oneline" format does.
