For the recent check in the script I used removed trailing spaces and tabs.

When I do a graphical merge I run a script that converts tabs to four
spaces, although sometimes I have to tweak things to fix things.
There are some older parts of bits that have been merged without me
running the script than have tabs that I haven't yet converted.

I didn't do all the files as I wanted to make sure nothing broke in
the process.  So far no complaints... When I first started reading
your post I did initial think oh uh something must have gone wrong...

What parts are still spotting the training spaces?

Point me in the direction of files/directories that still have
training spaces would be useful.

This is generally a low priority task though, it doesn't fix any bugs
or make the code more readable.
