I've been mostly ignoring this message, but I find it annoying as
generally I don't like to cause warnings:

.dotest/patch:56: trailing whitespace.
       OsSysLog::add(FAC_SUPERVISOR, PRI_DEBUG, " supInWaiting pid %ld
returned %d", 
warning: squelched 6 whitespace errors
warning: 11 lines add whitespace errors.

It is complaining about the space at the end of the line.  I personally
think the space belongs there, as it is a partial line and joining the
two lines would result in the proper spacing.

- does the warning bother anyone else?

- does it indicate a real problem? (google suggests that trailing
whitespace causes merge problems)

- is there a way to turn it off? (e.g. "git-config
core.whitespace=nowarn" or other methods; see

itespace-errors/210/ ,
 
http://stubbisms.wordpress.com/2008/07/30/git-rebase-svn-and-whitespace/
,
   for some suggestions).  If I do this locally, does that mess up the
central code base?

- or should I be cleaning the trailing whitespace from each line?
