From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@xxxxxx> When comparing commit messages, we need to keep in mind that they are indented by four spaces. That is, empty lines are no longer empty, but have "trailing whitespace". When displaying them in color, that results in those nagging red lines. Let's just right-trim the lines in the commit message, it's not like trailing white-space in the commit messages are important enough to care about in `git range-diff`.
