whitespace checking in git-add?

whitespace checking in git-add?

[Chris Frey]

Hi,

Is it possible to somehow enable whitespace checking during git-add?
In my searches, I can only seem to find mention of it in git-diff.

Thanks,
- Chris

One thing you can do is:

 1) 'git add' and 'git commit' as usual

 2) run 'git rebase -f --whitespace=fix HEAD~'

Thanks for the plug ;), but you should note that that only works on a
very recent git. It's not even in master yet, according to [0] it's
been in next for only 7 days.

Oh, OK...  Still better than a non existing feature.

That's true :). Btw, it's also possible to do:
$ git rebase --whitespace=fix HEAD~

The --whitespace=fix will automagically turn on the -f :).
