Re: request for enhancement: gitk highlight whitespace
Yeah, that would be good. Don't know whether it has something to do with a change in Git (I'm using 1.7.0.1), but recently I got quite a few submissions where gitk shows lines as changed, but I couldn't find out what it was.
A general option to show explicitly the change would be a good thing.

P.S. This would also be helpful for long lines (yet it's a pain with gitk to find out where the change is).
