Gentlemen, can you refrain from changing the whitespace in RELEASE-NOTES?

$ svn diff -r BASE:HEAD RELEASE-NOTES
===================================================================
--- RELEASE-NOTES       (working copy)
+++ RELEASE-NOTES       (revision xxxxx)

-* Add width parameter to Special:Filepath to allow getting the file path of a 
thumbnail.
+* Add width parameter to Special:Filepath to allow getting the file path of a
+  thumbnail.

What happens is apparently somebody or something comes around about once
a week and neatens up the whitespace in this file. This causes the
person doing diffs to mostly get irrelevant whitespace changes that even
diff --ignore-all-space --ignore-blank-lines --ignore-space-change
won't ignore.

Therefore neaten the whitespace upon adding lines, not via a batch job
later; or don't neaten it in the first place. Thank you.
