Perhaps we could automatically SVN_SILENT these changes but I would not strip 
them out entirely, there's a risk that if we mess up the implementation of 
that feature that someone could slip something malicious into a "whitespace-
only" change (no I don't have an example, merely paranoia ;)

This is a good reason to make the change, but perhaps we should make the 
improvement in e.g. Kompare instead of the commit mails?
