This are whitespace changes.
$ git diff --color
marks whitespaces at the end of the line with a red background color
so you can see what changed. I also use vim with :set list to see
whitespace changes, e.g.
$ git diff | vim -c 'set list' -
If you like to have colors (not just in diff) permnanently you can add
this to your .git/config or ~/.gitconfig:
[color]
branch = auto
diff = auto
status = auto
pager = true
See also git-config(1) for more information on these and other
configuration options.
