The "\ No newline at the end of the file" can come after any of the
"-" (deleted preimage line), " " (unchanged line), or "+" (added
postimage line). In later steps in this series, we will start
treating a change that makes a file to end in an incomplete line
as a whitespace error, and we would need to know what the previous
line was when we react to "\ No newline" in the diff output. If
the previous line was a context (i.e., unchanged) line, the file
lacked the final newline before the change, and the change did not
touch that line and left it still incomplete, so we do not want to
warn in such a case.
Teach fn_out_consume() function to keep track of what the previous
line was, and prepare an otherwise empty switch statement to let us
react differently to "\ No newline" based on that.
Note that there is an existing curiosity (read: likely to be a bug)
in the code that increments line number in the preimage file every
time it sees a line with "\ No newline" on it, regardless of what
the previous line was. I left it as-is, because it does not affect
the main theme of this series, and more importantly, I do not think
it matters, as these numbers are used only to compare them with
blank_at_eof_in_{pre,post}image to issue a warning when we see more
empty line was added at the end, but by definition, after we see
"\ No newline at the end of the file" for an added line, we will not
see an added line for the file.
An independent audit to ensure that this curious increment can be
safely removed would make a good #leftoverbits clean-up (we may even
find some code that decrements this counter or over-increments the
other quantity this counter is compared with that compensates the
effect of this curious increment that hides a bug, in which case we
may also need to remove them).

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.adoc to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.adoc for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.adoc for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.adoc
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).
Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message
string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md
(a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).
To subscribe to the list, send an email to git+subscribe@vger.kernel.org (see https://subspace.kernel.org/subscribing.html for details). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, https://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
