man isspace says:
isspace()
checks for white-space characters. In the "C" and "POSIX"
locales, these are: space, form-feed ('\f'), newline
('\n'), carriage return ('\r'), horizontal tab ('\t'), and
vertical tab ('\v').
i.e. "space" includes EOL characters, per long-standing tradition.
If a file differs only by line endings, its hash is still different, so
eliding EOL diffs by default could, IMO, be particularly confusing. Two
files, different hashes... no diffs? (That said, an option to disable them
as being treated as diffs would be very welcomed. :)
