Agreed. Also, I know many of us use git(-svn). You can do things such as enabling colouring of whitespace errors in diffs etc, or have git fix certain whitespace errors automatically, or use some additional pre-commit hooks there too...basically there are various ways it could/can help in getting such things out of the way before SVN even enters the picture.
