Subject: Whitespace options
Message-ID: <3C72F4A7-9B7A-44D0-B13D-FD534EB02C27@bitart.com>

Hi all,

I think there should be a whitespace option that ignores lines that  
consists completely of whitespace vs lines with actual trailing  
whitespace preceded by non-whitespace.

The reason is that many editors (especially those supporting indent- 
based code folding) keep 'empty' lines at the current indentation  
level. git (with default settings) flags all those lines.

I know I could just remove 'trailing-space' from 'core.whitespace',  
but I would actually still like be notified about the case where a  
line that is not whitespace only ends with trailing whitespace.

Thanks

Gerd
