Description Raymond Jennings 2015-09-08 01:35:36 UTC

It's actually quite proper for a source code file to have a single blank line at the end.  It's to prevent the file from having a line that does not end in a newline.

However, the default commit hook doesn't check to see if a blank line at the end is the only one or not.

Reproducible: Always

Just took a look at the file "the hard way" by using mcedit in a console.

The file is properly terminated by a newline, but gedit doesn't show that.

New bug is being filed against gedit.
