Subject: Highlighting whitespace on removal with git diff
Message-ID: <AANLkTik7a8OQz2+SVTm+HjZkCtbjm6O9d12biCJ8MyZz@mail.gmail.com>

When I do say 'git diff', and I have added a line with a trailing
whitespace, i get a red square box highlighting the added whitespace.
(on the '+' diff line)
What I want, is the reverse - so when I delete an existing whitespace,
I get something similar, for example a blue box highlighting the
deleted whitespace (on the '-' diff line)

Currently the only notificate I get is identical
'-' and '+' diff lines, but no indication of the whitespace deleted

I know I can do this with graphical tools, but ideally would like some way
using the standard console git diff - if this is possible.

I have  the following in my .gitconfig
---
[color "diff"]
whitespace = red reverse
[core]
 whitespace=-indent-with-non-tab,trailing-space,cr-at-eol,tab-in-indent
---

Thanks,
