This may be a mis-conversion at 250f7993 ("diff.c: split emit_line() from the first char and the rest of the line", 2009-09-14), I suspect. The original took line[] with length and peeked for '\n', and when it saw one, it decremented length before checking line[len-1] for '\r'. But of course if there is only one byte on the line (i.e. len == 0 after first is stripped off), it cannot be both '\n' or '\r' at the same time. Thanks for spotting.
