John, Mike, Yes, I understand, and I am sorry--but I hope it is one-time pain to avoid continuing pin-pricks. If svn ignored trailing whitespace, then there would be no problem; I could continue to use an editor that removes it, and you could continue to use editors that gratuitously add it, and usually it would make no difference. This is not the case, however. As it is now, if a file comes into svn without any trailing whitespace, and one of you loads it up, maybe makes a trivial change after running your cursor through it, and saves it--it will end up with a big changeset--lots of trailing whitespace. This is just plain bad. All downside, no upside.
