How about this instead? I looked at git a bit more, and have
little experience with git apply (not sure whether it's used
all over the place or not), so let's make that less prominent.
Cheers,

+to the right place and making it executable:
+
+ chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-commit
+
+To manually check for whitespace errors before committing, you can use
