I don't think a VCS is the place to enforce formatting rules. The VCS 
should not care what is in the file, only how it has changed. Also there 
are languages where spacing matters, so ignoring whitespace changes in 
the VCS is wrong. And last but not least, your whitespace rules do not 
apply to everyone else.
