I guess, the diff modes in the editors can be parametrized to ignore whitespaces changes so I do not really think it is a big issue. I also think that we should get rid of the trailing whitespaces. by the way for emacs you can do meta-x whitespace-mode to show the whitespaces and m-x whitespace-cleanup to get rid of them. > > If we indeed want to get rid of them, I'd be much happier if the SVN server > simply rejected commits containing them (the same holds true for formatting - > it's much better to ask people to submit properly formatted patches rather > than > going on a reformatting spree every now and then) > it is a bit extreme don't you think :-). My formatting is always off (emacs behave oddly even when the e17 style is activated) so I always spend time to correct it and having a tool doing that for you is actually good.
