Do git and hq explicitly show you whitespace when you record and pull? As far as I know they don't. Darcs does. With VCS other than darcs, I expect to use an external diff viewer to see explicit whitespace. Darcs likes to show it to you at record/pull even though, as far as I know, other vcs would require you to use an external diff viewer to see the explicit whitespace. Also, as far as I know, darcs doesn't allow you to *not* see explicit whitespace for record/pull, unlike the external diff viewer I am used to. Jason
