Perhaps we could make GGG error out on > whitespace errors before submissions are allowed? I think you are asking the tool for too much support. It may help a lot more if we gave a Makefile target (or two) that the contributors can run before going public. Perhaps O=origin/master upstream-check:: git log -p --check $(O).. that can be used like so: $ make upstream-check $ make O=gitster/next upstream-check That way, those who use format-patch+email without GGG or those who push to a shared repository to be reviewed among the peer developers before going public would benefit, not just GGG users. Hmm?
