Sorry, forgot to copy the motivation from : I want to be able to make diff ignore whitespace changes "-b". But maybe someone else wants "-w" or what not, so I think a generic option field is most versatile. If you feel, this switch should be easier to reach than through the options menu, I agree, but I am a Tcl/Tk newbie, so this was the easiest fix for me. > I can apply this to git-gui's repository.

However, if you feel like coding up something that's easier to use, I'd be even happier. But maybe the generic field is still of use.
