My knee-jerk reaction is that (1) the end user definitely wants to see preimage and postimage lines are different in such a commit by default, one side has and the other side lacks ^M at the end., and (2) one of the "whitespace ignoring" options (namely, "ignore space at eol") may suffice, but if not, it should be easy to invent a new one "ignore CR at eol".
