It is misleading to say "The files backend produces" here.  The
promise the API makes to the callback functions is that msg will be
a single complete line, regardless of what ref backend is used, no?

Unless we plan to break the promise to the callback, forcing them to
compensate the differences of behaviour between backends, by making
the reftable backend behave differently.

    The callback for each-reflog-ent iterator functions receives a
    single complete line terminated with a newline at the end in the
    'msg' parameter; by having a newline in the printf() format
    string, we have been emitting a blank line between entries.

    Fix it.

or something, I think.

And I do agree this makes it much more pleasant than before (not
just this one but all the changes to the tests).

Thanks.
