Yeah, fair enough.  Hard to know where to start, though.  OK, just to
get an idea, I committed a completely empty tree, made a diff (with
--binary), then applied with --whitespace=fix and compared to the
original.  In some cases these seem to be accidental, in some cases
(git-p4) I assume they're intended to use the different style.

I personally have this in .git/config

[core]
	whitespace = indent,trail,space

and the following three lines in contrib/.gitattributes (untracked)

*.py whitespace=!indent,trail,space
*.el whitespace=!indent,trail,space
fast-import/git-p4 whitespace=!indent,trail,space

I would also exclude gitweb/gitweb.perl
