Subject: Diff for unmerged files always misses the `\ No newline at end of file` mark
Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2022 17:39:07 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAKdzDnn7KkRpXta1LiHcDPCztPcPRTFv8zTW_v+GpBAuSTW6yg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Some time ago I reported a bug there, but got no response. I hope it's
OK if I post it again.

Diff for unmerged files always misses the `\ No newline at end of file` mark.

I was able to reproduce this with all git versions on all platforms.

Steps to reproduce (macOS, 2.32.0 (Apple Git-132)):

```
git init
echo "line1\nline2" > eol.txt
echo -n "line1\nline2" > noeol.txt
git add .
git commit -m "initial"
git branch br1
echo "line11\nline2" > eol.txt
echo -n "line11\nline2" > noeol.txt
git add .
git commit -m "line1"
git checkout br1
echo "line12\nline2" > eol.txt
echo -n "line12\nline2" > noeol.txt
git add .
git commit -m "line2"
git merge master
git diff -- eol.txt > eol.diff
git diff -- noeol.txt > noeol.diff
```

Expected behavior: `noeol.diff` must have the `\\ No newline at end of
file` mark (I guess double slash `\` must be used as a prefix)

```
$ git diff -- eol.txt
diff --cc eol.txt
index 3dc0c7e,5328e33..0000000
--- a/eol.txt
+++ b/eol.txt
@@@ -1,2 -1,2 +1,6 @@@
++<<<<<<< HEAD
 +line12
++=======
+ line11
++>>>>>>> master
  line2
\\ No newline at end of file
```

Actual behavior: `noeol.diff` does NOT have the `\\ No newline at end
of file` mark

```
$ git diff -- eol.txt
diff --cc eol.txt
index 3dc0c7e,5328e33..0000000
--- a/eol.txt
+++ b/eol.txt
@@@ -1,2 -1,2 +1,6 @@@
++<<<<<<< HEAD
 +line12
++=======
+ line11
++>>>>>>> master
  line2
```
