Would it be possible for you to provide two (non-sensitive) example
files showing this behavior?

Title:
  diff reports bogus differences on identical files

Status in diffutils package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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.
