Thanks for testing that.
So I am considering applying this patch.  We may want to tighten
it later but as the initial set of rules this should do.
No objections from me.--b.

[PATCH] Add gitattributes file making whitespace checking pickier

This establishes what the "bad" whitespaces are for this
project.

The rules are:

 - For C source files, trailing whitespaces, an HT that follows
   a SP in the leading indent, and initial indent by SP that can
   be replaced with HT are all bad.

 - The same rule applies to the AsciiDoc input files in the
   Documentation/ hierarchy.

 - It is Ok to indent with all spaces the Python and Elisp
   sources in the contrib/ area.
