Right. The original purpose was to warn you when you were introducing whitespace breakages. Getting rid of other people's whitespace breakages is OK.

We later did b8767f7 (diff.c: --ws-error-highlight=<kind> option, 2015-05-26) to let you see them on other lines, though. I think that would do what you want.
