Subject: [PATCH] tests: ls/color-clear-to-eol: append NL to accommodate old sed
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

* tests/ls/color-clear-to-eol: Some vendor sed programs fail
to operate on lines that are not NL-terminated.
This affects at least Solaris 10's /bin/sed.
Reported by Pádraig Brady.
