[PATCH v2] rev-list: use hdr_termination instead of a always using a newline

[PATCH v2] rev-list: use hdr_termination instead of a always using a newline

[Jacob Keller]

From: Jacob Keller <jacob.keller@gmail.com>

When adding support for prefixing output of log and other commands using
--line-prefix, commit 660e113ce118 ("graph: add support for
--line-prefix on all graph-aware output", 2016-08-31) accidentally
broke rev-list --header output.

In order to make the output appear with a line-prefix, the flow was
changed to always use the graph subsystem for display. Unfortunately
the graph flow in rev-list did not use info->hdr_termination as it was
assumed that graph output would never need to putput NULs.

Since we now always use the graph code in order to handle the case of
line-prefix, simply replace putchar('\n') with
putchar(info->hdr_termination) which will correct this issue.

Add a test for the --header case to make sure we don't break it in the
future. Implement a helper function test_ends_with_nul() to make it more
obvious what sort of check we are looking for.

Changes in v2

* Add Junio's signed-off-by since he wrote the new test
