Sorry for hijacking the thread.

just for curiosity, have you tried to see how 'got patch' handles
this?  I haven't written any test (yet!) for this case.

Asking because this had made me think about the various pitfalls of
different line endings again.  When importing 'got patch' I remember
talking with Stefan about this and how subversion handles it.  We
ruled out the CR alone line-endings because our diff(1) can't handle
it, I remember testing with a few CRLF files and having some degree of
success, but nothing more.
