Note that if you only change whitespace, you can refine the merge
strategy, as in

  $ git merge -X ignore-space-change other-branch

which causes much of the merge pain to go away.  (PETSc just went
through this "uncrustify" process.  The project was still on Mercurial
at that time, though I was using Git and thus had merge strategies.)
