I would not advise such a commit as it atleast prevents *us* from munging
line endings while handling text bodies. Even though it might seem nice to
resolve this issue via a file that doesn't have CRLF line breaks, I would
suggest that it be resolved by changing the test case to reflect the reduced
file size in the case of Windows/Python combination.
