Change mktag's acceptance rules to accept an empty body without an
empty line after the header again. This fixes an ancient unintended
dregression in "mktag".
When "mktag" was introduced in ec4465adb3 (Add "tag" objects that can
be used to sign other objects., 2005-04-25) the input checks were much
looser. When it was documented it 6cfec03680 (mktag: minimally update
the description., 2007-06-10) it was clearly intended for this \n to
be optional:
The message, when [it] exists, is separated by a blank line from
the header.
But then in e0aaf781f6 (mktag.c: improve verification of tagger field
and tests, 2008-03-27) this was made an error, seemingly by
accident. It was just a result of the general header checks, and all
the tests after that patch have a trailing empty line (but did not
before).
Let's allow this again, and tweak the test semantics changed in
e0aaf781f6 to remove the redundant empty line. New tests added in
previous commits of mine already added an explicit test for allowing
the empty line between header and body.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public
License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses,
compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus
Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to
the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that
list the current status of various development topics to the mailing
list. The discussion following them give a good reference for
project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very
first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker"
and the name as (depending on your mood):
random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
"global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
"goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
