[O] Bug: org-insert-heading adds extra newlines [9.0.4 (release_9.0.4-222-g63aaff.dirty @ /home/kyle/.emacs.d/modules/org-mode/lisp/)]

[Kyle Sherman]

Hello.

When pressing M-return, which calls `org-insert-heading', in addition to
adding the new heading under the current one (and splitting if not at 
the end
of the line) it also now adds an additional newline after the new 
heading.  It
didn't used to do this.

This is the commit where this functionality changed:

68d8f860cd0b898a02f60ec3b4781f4ddf7d2627

If this was intentional, I do wish you would change it back as it 
continuously
adds more and more newlines if I keep adding headings.

BTW, I absolutely love org-mode.  I use it for everything!

Cheers, Kyle
