Makes sort-of sense. If I were selling this patch, I'd remove the
first two paragraph and stress on how completing the line inside
emit_hunk_header() is conceptually cleaner than doing it outside.
emit_hunk_header() function is responsible for assembling a
hunk header and calling emit_line() to send the hunk header
to the output file. Its only caller fn_out_consume() needs
to prepare for a case where the function emits an incomplete
line and add the terminating LF.
Instead make sure emit_hunk_header() to always send a
completed line to emit_line().
or something like that.
Note that I am not saying "buffering the entire diff in-core? why
should we support such a use case?". I am saying that this change
is a clean-up that is justifiable, without having to answer such a
question.
