'git commit' problem

- Subject: 'git commit' problem
Hi,
This might be a general 'git' issue rather than something specific to
Cygwin. (The only git I have used is Cygwin's git - version 1.5.4.)
When I try to 'git commit' my amendments I often get hit with "* trailing
whitespace (line xxx)" errors.
Firstly, I'm wondering what's wrong with having whitespace at the end of a
line ? Why should it prevent changes from being committed ?
Secondly, what's the best way to deal with this ? Can this check be easily
disabled ?
Cheers,
Rob
