Caring too much about trailing whitespace is IMO a good way to waste 
time. Just make sure to not commit trailing whitespace, and remove 
trailing whitespace on lines you change, and that's fine. Having an 
editor automatically remove trailing whitespace on save just breaks 
git-blame and pollutes diffs.
