[issue12038] assertEqual doesn't display newline differences quite well

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

A possible fix is to condense the output by omitting stuff in the center rather than as the end:
"x\nx\nx\nx\nx\nx\nx\nx\nx\nx\nx\nx...x\nx\nx\nx\nx\nx\nx\nx\nx\nx\n"
"x\nx\nx\nx\nx\nx\nx\nx\nx\nx\nx\nx...x\nx\nx\nx\nx\nx\nx\nx\nx\nx\r\n"
would be clear.
