I have configured my text editor to remove spaces at the end of each line
whenever it saves a file. I do this so that I don't inadvertently add spaces to
the end of any line.
Unfortunately, if the file *already* had spaces at the end of some lines before
I start editing it, this spaces will also be removed.
After I commit my changes, I use git-format-patch to make a patch. I then get
deltas like this:
* Copyright (C) 1996-2005 Paul Mackerras.
- *
+ *
* Adapted for 64bit PowerPC by Dave Engebretsen and Peter Bergner.
- * {engebret|bergner}@us.ibm.com
+ * {engebret|bergner}@us.ibm.com
*
I don't want these deltas in my patch. However, if I specify an option like
--ignore-all-space, git-format-patch omits deltas like this one:
- memcpy(fs_enet_data.macaddr, mac_addr, 6);
+ memcpy(fs_enet_data.macaddr, mac_addr, 6);
In this case, I *do* want the delta, because I'm indenting a line to fix a
formatting error.
So how do I get the output that I want, and not the output that I don't want?
