I have had this in my ~/.gitconfig for a long time.
[alias]
wsadd = "!sh -c 'git diff -- \"$@\" | git apply --cached
--whitespace=fix;\
git co -- ${1-.} \"$@\"' -"
That is, "take what's different from the _index_ and the working
tree, apply that difference while correcting whitespace errors to
the index, and check the result out to the working tree". This
would _not_ touch existing whitespace-damaged lines that you are not
touching, and honours the customized definition of what is
considered whitespace breakage for each paths (which you set up with
the attributes system).
