This is a tangent, but if the problem were slightly different, I
would be more sympathetic. For example
A popular MUA, when asked to write out a message in the mbox
format, ends _all_ the lines in its output with CRLF, whether
the original was sent as LF-only or CRLF, and there is no way to
convince it to use LF-only. "git apply" fails to grok such an
input.
could be, if the use of such an MUA is very prevalent, a common
problem worth working around.
But then I would suspect that the workaround for such a case may not
be "accept /dev/null\n and /dev/null\r\n equally". It is likely
that the right workaround for such a case would be to "turn all \r\n
into \n before processing".
