Re: [PATCH 1/2] War on whitespace: first, a bit of retreat.

This introduces core.whitespace configuration variable that lets
you specify the definition of "whitespace error".

Currently there are two kinds of whitespace errors defined:

 * trailing-space: trailing whitespaces at the end of the line.

 * space-before-tab: a SP appears immediately before HT in the
   indent part of the line.

        [core]
                whitespace = -trailing-space

Could I suggest naming the option 'whitespaceError', so it's clearer
that it's a negative setting?
