Ok, it was my bad. There *were* whitespaces on those lines, but in
HEAD^, not head. Git only cares when they are introduced, not when
they are removed. So git diff HEAD^..HEAD showed that strange line
removal/add but git diff HEAD..HEAD^ shows me the whitespace.

I recently set up emacs to strip whitespace whenever I save a file to
prevent git from complaining (and it's good practice anyway), so that
explains why I didn't expect the change

Sorry about the mixup, and thanks for your help.
