Subject: request for enhancement: gitk highlight whitespace
Date: Fri, 26 Mar 2010 15:19:17 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201003261519.18095.sbraun@emlix.com> (raw)

Hi

It would be great if I could teach gitk to better highlight 
whitespace changes in the diff view.

Every once in a while (and again today) I have to review 
patches that "fix whitespace". Allthough the fixes are usually 
trivial, I have to check them, which is not trivial with the gitk 
display. Also I often mistakenly accept changes after 
review with gitk that turn out to contain a mix of 
tabs/whitespace etc. 

I searched the mailinglist (for gitk whitespace) and asked on irc, yet 
nobody seemed to care so far.

What do you think about it?

Regards,Gruessle
Simon
