Also I'm still not convinced that having different behaviors for --ignore-whitespace depending on the backend is going to be helpful but maybe they are close enough not to matter too much in practice [2].

OK, so I'll leave a note that this needs to consider existing GIT_COMMITTER_DATE environment variable, etc, with a reference to [ref]. A URL to public-inbox.org is good, but that is because those who do not use public-inbox.org (or after the site goes out of service) can still identify exactly which message you are referring to if you use the https://public-inbox.org/git/$message_id_without_brackets format. Unlike that form, the format you used only identifies the thread starter, and without public-inbox.org in service, a reader cannot tell which message in the thread you are referring to, even if the reader had full mailing list archive. IOW, I would have appreciated if the above reference were done like so: https://public-inbox.org/git/5adde732-173b-d24d-d23f-bb4d043076d7@gmail.com/ Thanks.
