There's a bunch of ways to fix whitespace. They all involve putting
--whitespace=fix or something like that in the command line. The only
one I've ever used is

git rebase --whitespace=fix upstream/master

It fixes whitespace on all the commits that you've made. I think it's
pretty good about merge conflicts due to whitespace as well. I don't
know of a way of doing this at commit time though.

On another git note, if you do git pull/(git fetch; git merge) to
merge with upstream it might look nasty (merge commits). I think (git
fetch; git rebase) might work better. Someone should correct me if I'm
wrong, I'm no git wizard.

Mike.
