As someone kindly pointed out, the documentation actually says:
"The default 'pre-commit' hook, when enabled, catches introduction of 
lines with trailing whitespaces and aborts the commit when such a line 
is found."

I'm not seeing this functionality in the pre-commit.sample for 1.7.1 or 
1.7.5.4.
