Inside gitk there's a checkbox which says:
Ignore space change

It was translated to portuguese (pt-br) as:
Ignorar mudanças de caixa

But that message in portuguese means:
Ignore case changes

that checkbox does not ignore case changes, but instead it ignores space
changes, a better translation would be

Ignorar mudanças de espaço
or
Ignorar espaçamentos
or
Ignorar espaços

```

As a native speaker I'd say go with that one. Although 'Ignorar
espaçamentos' sounds more succinct.
