Incorrect representation of the diff

[sschuman-aip]

The diff view shows an incorrect change:

This diff looks as if the data tag had been removed and a value tag inserted in its place. That would result in incorrectly formatted XML.

The change was not made in this way either.

git diff displays the change this way as:

That would be correct, as well.
Even this diff will be displayed in vs-code like (best view in my opinion):

Attached is a minimal repository to reproduce the bug. Simply open it and view the diff.

The same bug occurs even if you open the changes after staging or committing.

It's because that you are using a single \r as the end of first line (but using \n for the reset lines). SourceGit only supports file-ending \n or \r\n

I do not think using a single \r to start a newline is the right way.

• Windows: \r\n by default
• Linux: \n by default
• macOS and Mac OS X: \n by default (only System 9 and older use \r)

I've pushed a new commit which avoids parsing \r as newline and keep the same with original git diff output.
