Oh, thanks for mentioning, I noticed this before on other projects but not here, I just ignore warnings from github, I don't really use the web interface.
My personal opinion is that it's a leftover from prehistoric *nix times for whatever reasons (linecounting, not being able to show the last text because it is "not on a line"). I'm a Windows guy using 2018 tools. My toolchain has no issues with it and doesn't give me a warning.
I agree that on a bigger level this opinion might be flawed but in our usecase it's ok.
