Roan Kattouw <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #5 from Roan Kattouw <[email protected]> --- I'll note that the trailing whitespace thing isn't specific to Gerrit but to git in general: the default colors for git diff also highlight trailing whitespace in red. I believe one of the reasons why git is so afraid of trailing whitespace is because it can get corrupted when sending commits via e-mail (and then only if put directly in the body rather than in an attachment, and maybe even then only in some cases), but that's a Linux kernel-specific and IMO archaic workflow that we don't use. (E-mail clients eating trailing whitespace isn't that worrying by itself, but disappearing characters cause failing SHA-1 hash checks, and obviously git freaks out in that case.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
