Split from bug 42616, diffs of the removal of trailing newlines should work, even though such diffs are rare. Example diff: <https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Some_page_title&diff=prev&oldid=152897>. This diff should show that the page went from "#REDIRECT [[Foo]]\n\n" to "#REDIRECT [[Foo]]\n". Instead, it pretends as though there were no changes to the wikitext of the page at all! This is incorrect diff behavior.
This is also true for diffs of trailing newline additions, and I've modified the summary accordingly: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Radiation_therapy&diff=543259144&oldid=543259121 Also see this discussion: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Vpt#Bizarre_null_edit_thingy
I believe this same issue changes \r\n to \n without a visible diff, but I'm not completely sure.
