Thank you for the report. I've noticed that, too, though only the insertion of newline-at-EOF in each .gitignore file. I've Cc'd bug-gnulib, since gnulib-tool appears to be doing it. I notice that some of your differences appear to be due to sorting with a different locale than I use. That implies there's a second problem: perhaps one of gnulib-tool's uses of sort is not prefixed with LC_ALL=C.
