It seems that this step is identical to v1, to which SZEDER Gábor
had trouble with (cf. <20181212133945.GV30222@xxxxxxxxxx>).  I am
guessing that the review and v2 e-mails have crossed.

FWIW, I personally do not think "is sensitive to CRLF" is too bad,
as my attempt to clarify it does not make it much better, e.g.

	The logic to read from these files in shell uses built-in
	"read" command, which leaves CR at the end of these text
	files when they are checked out with CRLF line endings, at
	least when run with bash shipped with Git for Windows.  This
	results in an unexpected value in the variable these lines
	are read into, leading the tests to fail.

So, I'll keep what I queued when I received v1 for now.
