What you can throw (on a Friday)

Heh. Note that one of the first mails i've received from this list was the one which transported the annoyed gasp from the-one-who-was-born-right-next-door-to-where-the-elks-live. About scattered non-breaking spaces (U+A0).

Unfortunately that patch series has been thrown away! And so i think you underestimate the problem. On my german keyboard, f.e., i need to press ALT for all of these: []|{} (ALT + [5-9]). !!! Well, there *are* days where my thumb is fast enough to leave ALT before i hit SPC ... (But today it yet caused distress.)

After the second scissor i'll append my current pre-commit (and thus pre-applypatch) (for nothing except to show that it's a problem people really have to deal with). But i already thought about resurrecting your patch-series and reduce it to only the whitespace check. Because, being able to say

    exec git diff-index --check --cached $against --

instead would be much easier, because then you could simply state and request from contributors "please adhere to the whitespace policy of this project:"

    whitespace = trailing-space,tabwidth=4,tab-in-indent,yell-on-nbsp

Well and while fooling around and getting more familiar with git(1) i stumbled over some things which might be caused by bad control flow instead of being desired behaviour. After the first scissor there is a test shell script which reproduces them.

Thanks for git(1) beside that, plastic dishes also break ... Nice weekend all of you.
