This problem is already fixed.

This is already fixed too.
But, the problem is the case that you load "hello" by explicitly
specifying dos coding system, or you once save the file by dos coding
sytem before reverting. In this case, Emacs respects your
specification, and thus revert-buffer loads the file as dos coding
system, which results in seeing many CR charaters in the above case.
We think this behaviour is not a bug but a feature.

I don't understand the need for the revert-buffer-file-coding-system
variable. Why doesn't last-coding-system-used work here?

I suppose it's because of the intelligent point preserving behavior of
`revert-buffer'. When buffer and file don't differ (modulo decoding)
nothing gets inserted. OTOH Handa kills `buffer-file-coding-system' in
`revert-buffer' since 2002 so the old value is lost and Emacs goes for
the default value instead. I don't understand though why the problem
became virulent only lately.
In any case it would be helpful if the OP tested whether my patch works
for him ;-)

That patch fixes the bug I reported, but it creates a new one: if you
change the EOL convention outside of emacs, revert-buffer no longer
detects this. To reproduce:
printf "hello\r\nworld\r\n" > hello
emacs -Q hello &
printf "hello\rworld\r" > hello
M-x revert-buffer
# emacs still sees DOS newlines

Indeed. BTW, can you confirm that when you delete the entire buffer
text first reverting works correctly? Unfortunately, I don't understand
this part of `insert-file-contents' at all. I suppose Emacs should
redecode when it finds out that the eol-types of the buffer and the part
of the file it has already read differ. But somehow this doesn't
happen. Handa-san do you have any ideas?

Hm, I must have tried it with Emacs 22. It doesn't work in 23. Too many
versions to juggle around. Sorry for the confusion.

Yes, it works if I clear the buffer first, both with and without your
patch.

If you load a file with DOS line endings, and revert it with M-x
revert-buffer, emacs forgets the used EOL convention and will use
Unix line endings when writing the file.

The inverse scenario of this is biting me for some time already.
I'm currently using the attached patch.
