I feel a few people are not understanding what I am asking for here.


Tell me the difference between the following two lines of code:


function getSomething()
function getSomething()

At fist glance, NADA. When I run this through HG to commit, it is going to tell me that line 2 is different, hence a "change" from line #1. Why?


Because it has white space (20 extra spaces) at the end of the line.


It has nothing to do with obfuscation. I am definitely not advocating using a minify, like for javascript, to pack all the code into a single line =)
