git log: missing newline at end of output

I have a directory containing many git repos.

I want to search for commits containing "foo" in the git repos with git log -G foo.

This does not work:

for repo in *; do (cd $repo; git log -G request --pretty=format:"%ad %h in $repo by %an, %s" --date=iso --since=2022-05-01) ; done | sort -r

For some reason some lines are glued together ("xyz2022-06-30")

2022-04-29 17:02:03 +0200 b0b9b30b in bar by Thomas, xyz2022-06-30 14:25:09 +0200 47dbcb3 in applicant_management by dennis, Implement renames and relocations of columns in InstitutionSlotAdmin

The output of git log seems to be missing a newline at the end.

How to fix this one-liner?

Based on the answer of LeGEC:

for repo in *; do (cd $repo; \
   git log -G request --pretty="%ad %h in $repo by %an, %s" \
     --date=iso --since=2022-05-01); done | sort -r

tested on my machine (bash on Ubuntu, using git 2.35.0) I see the same issue :

when the output of git log ... is piped, there is no trailing \n (seen using git log ... | hd)

A quick (and hacky) fix : add an empty echo at the end of your loop :

for repo in *; do (cd $repo; \
   git log -G request --pretty=format:"%ad %h in $repo by %an, %s" \
     --date=iso --since=2022-05-01; \
   echo); done | sort -r
#   ^
