[RFC] ignore white space changes in commit mails

[André Wöbbeking]

Hi,

as more and more developers are removing trailing white spaces 
automatically many commit mails are cluttered by these changes. Please 
ignore them in commit mails.

pros:
- as the real change becomes more "visible" it's easier to review 
commits
- less bandwidth is used (does this still count today?)

cons:
- sometimes the indentation could look wrong e.g. if you put some code 
into a for loop, the for statement and the code would have the same 
indentation
- it's obviously harder to review white space changes in case you want 
to nitpick about wrong indentation

What do you think?


Cheers,
André
