Yes, all of his testing with "git diff" is hampered by the pager hiding
the exit code. And that is dealt with by the patches in next (and I
tested his examples with 'next', and they work fine).

But that still leaves the part about "git log" not changing its exit
code. I don't think it has ever been designed to, and I'm not even sure
what the semantics would be (exit code != 0 if any logged commit has a
whitespace problem? That seems the most logical, and it might be useful
for limited ranges).

...and then after writing this I realized that all of this was dealt
with later in the thread. Sorry for the noise.
