  for one of my courses, i wanted to write a section about the various
techniques for dealing with whitespace issues in git, so i started
making a list, things like:
  - running "git diff --check"
  - "git commit --cleanup=" possibilities
  - config options like core.{eol,safecrlf,autocrlf}
  - i'm sure there are client-side hooks that can be mentioned
etc, etc.
  has anyone ever written a doc that collects these things in one
place? if not, i guess i have to write one.
