Re: [PATCH] t/.gitattributes: only ignore whitespace errors in test files

Only ignore whitespace errors in t/tNNNN-*.sh and the t/tNNNN

checked.

Why?

What is the difference between test-lib.sh and tNNNN-*.sh that makes one
subject to whitespace checking and the other not?

(I suspect the answer is "shoving all the code in tNNNN-*.sh into eval'd
strings screws up the whitespace checking", but my point is that I
shouldn't have to guess; the justification should go in the commit
message).
