Package: tla
Version: 1.3.5+dfsg-9+b1
Severity: normal
When using "tagline" id-tagging-method, if a file has an id specified by
an arch-tag: line and that line has no terminating newline (obviously
this only happens if it's the last line in the file), then tla chops off
the last character of the file-id, which causes it to think it's a
different file.
E.g., if I have a file "foo" with contents:
Random text
arch-tag: xyz
and the final line has no terminating newline, then tla thinks the
file's id is "xy".
I suppose it's probably assuming there's a newline and just blindly
chopping off the last character of the line to remove it.
[This problem unfortunately crops up rather often for me, as people
using MS apps like VS seem to routinely delete the file-final newline
for some reason. If I fail to notice in time, I end up committing a
changeset which deletes the old file and adds a "new" file, and that
generally screws up merging; it's actually worse than having the
arch-tag: line deleted entirely, as at least "tla tree-lint" will tell
you about that...]
Thanks,
-Miles
