Might depend on editors. Some convert newlines to native format on 
saving. (And some don't even understand unix newlines at all meaning you 
would have to convert manually.) That would confuse diff quite badly. 
(There's the --strip-trailing-cr option, but at least I have to look it 
up every time I use it...)
