Public bug reported:

I run
  diff file1 file2

and I get a result where every single line of file1 is removed and then
every single line of file2 is added.

I look at them and they look identical.

Then I copy and paste the two files at https://www.diffchecker.com/diff
and it confirms that they are absolutely identical.


I wanted to report this upstream, but I can't find a public a bugtracker.  Is it possible that they use a f*****g mailing list to discuss bugs?? Omg.
