Thanks, I already suspected something like that.
Has this behavior been changed/added recently ?
I didn't observe it before, although the project I'm currently looking
into has always been using CR+LF...

Why does the ^M only show up in '+' lines ?
When changing the line end from CR+LF to LF, the diff looks like this:

-blahblah
+blahblah

But I would expect it to be

-blahblah^M
+blahblah
