I would further argue that the  web UI also should not ignore whitespace
by default.

The first thing I did to test the diff-eolws branch is with --tk and now
I see ``whitespace changes only'' and also look at the referenced commit
in the web UI.

I deal a lot with python and whitespace is significant.

Why  should  whitespace-only  changes   be  hidden  unless  specifically
requested (or otherwise indicated by user preference in some fashion)?

I  would vote  to leave  the  original behavior  (with a  slight fix  to
correct the  web UI),  but make it  possible for the  user to  express a
preference to hide whitespace-only changes.
