 983 provides "terminator" semantics instead of "separator" semantics. In
 984 other words, each commit has the message terminator character (usually a
 985 newline) appended, rather than a separator placed between entries.
 986 This means that the final entry of a single-line format will be properly
 987 terminated with a new line, just as the "oneline" format does.
 988 For example:</p></div>

1001 <div class="paragraph"><p>In addition, any unrecognized string that has a <tt>%</tt> in it is interpreted
