I'm trying to illustrate that (from the perspective of the ref backend
API) one call inserts something without a '\n', but the call that
reads the info back, gets the same data back with a '\n'. It looks
confusing and inconsistent to me.
It seems fine to decide that the message should always end in a LF,
but then why not do that in the normalization routine, so it is shared
across all backends?
For the purpose of the debug support (GIT_TRACE_REFS=1), I would
rather prefer if the message was always without LF, because the LF
ruins the visual of the debug output, but that is a minor concern.
