We tell users to take a peek into it when "am" fails, don't we, by
naming $GIT_DIR/rebase-apply/patch?

Stepping back a bit, after realizing that "write_file()" is a
short-hand for "I have all information necessary to produce the full
contents of a file, now go ahead and create and write that and
close", I have to wonder what caller even wants to create a file
with an incomplete line at the end.
All callers outside builtin/am.c except one caller uses it to
produce a single line file. The oddball is "git branch" that uses
it to prepare a temporary file used to edit branch description.
builtin/branch.c: if (write_file(git_path(edit_description), 0, "%s",
buf.buf)) {
The payload it prepares in buf.buf ends with a canned comment that
ends with LF. So in that sense it is not even an oddball.
The above analysis makes me wonder if this is a simpler and more
future proof approach.
Or did I miss any caller or a reasonable potential future use case
that wants to create a binary file or a text file that ends with an
incomplete line?
