Package: git-core
Version: 1:1.5.6.5-3
Severity: normal

"git commit" will give no warning when committing a file that includes
trailing whitespace.

However, "git rebase" will complain when applying a commit with trailing
whitespace.

This warning would be more welcome if it triggered during the initial
commit.


(In the process of logging this bug, I've realised that my complaint is
about the default settings; and "chmod u+x .git/hooks/pre-commit" helps.)

I've only noticed this warning while rebasing today.  Yesterday I installed
topgit, if that makes any difference to the active tests.

The pre-commit hook file has a warning with the "trailing whitespace" text,
but it doesn't appear to be coming from there.  "ls -lu" shows that neither of
  /usr/share/git-core/templates/hooks/pre-commit
  .git/hooks/pre-commit
are accessed during the rebase (their executable flag is not set).
