Hmph. I think with the multiple detection this rewording would make the
error message very long to read.  Was the rewording really necessary?

Well, that wording came from builtin-apply.c so it wasn't really a "re- wording" but an extraction. The other string comes from "diff.c". So I had to pick one of them in unifying them and basically the one from builtin-apply.c won because it was the site where I extracted from first. So basically it was arbitrary.

If I were to actually *re-word* the message I think something like this would be the compromise between clarity and conciseness:

"space before tab in indent"

And in the same spirit, the other two strings extracted from builtin- apply.c into the new whitespace_error_string() function:

"Adds trailing whitespace"
"Indent more than 8 places with spaces"

Could be shortened to:

"trailing whitespace" (diff.c says "white space at end")
"indent using spaces"

But I personally have no strong conviction about this, so I'm happy for it to be whatever you want.

+{

Honestly, I regretted suggesting this, fearing that it might make the
checking too costly, but the code is clean, readable, and does not look
costly at all.  Nice job.

Thanks. The check_and_emit_line function itself is fairly clean internally (apart from the somewhat ugly parameter list, but that was mostly inherited from the emit_line_with_ws function which it replaces). It's the sites where check_and_emit_line is called that look a bit ugly, but those can hopefully be cleaned up at some point in the future.

Cheers,
Wincent
