Thanks.

Maybe for future series, but not one in particular unless
you feel like respinning it:

As porcelain is meant for script consumption,  I think a good
mechanism
for human review is to separate patch 1 into 2 patches.

1: Only horizontal line whitespace changes
   git diff -w shouldn't show any changes and
   git blame -w would not show any change either.
2: Only vertical line changes additions/reformatting

This makes it easy to use git diff -w on patch 1 and
patch 2 can be more easily scanned visually.

It's also nice to use objdiff and show no object changes.
