[PATCH 2/5] New version of pre-commit hook

From
Wincent Colaiuta <win@wincent.com>

Now that "git diff --check" indicates problems with its exit code the pre-commit hook becomes a trivial one-liner.

A side effect of this is that when "git diff --check" learns to detect problems according to core.whitespace in the future, the hook's behaviour will evolve to match without any changes required.
