Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Use "whitespace" consistently
Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2007 09:12:01 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1197447122-93416-2-git-send-email-win@wincent.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1197447122-93416-1-git-send-email-win@wincent.com>

For consistency, change "white space" and "whitespaces" to
"whitespace", fixing a couple of adjacent grammar problems in the
docs.
