One of the pre-commit hooks detects trailing whitespace:

if (/\s$/) {
bad_line("trailing whitespace", $_);
}

Not since 03e2b63 (Update sample pre-commit hook to use "diff --check",
2008-06-26), when that line was removed.

I'm happy you want to improve git; but please, if you want to report
problems, check what the status is in a more recent version (or at least
tell us your version, which can help).

Sorry.  Will do.

2.  In addition, could you please enable the core.autocrlf and 

core.safecrlf

options by default in the next version of Git?

I think that is up to your platform packaging, I think. I think msysgit
is shipping with core.autocrlf on by default these days. But again, I
don't know very much about that area.

Are you saying that only my platform's packager can decide what options are 
enabled by default, and that you upstream folks have no influence at all?  :)
