'git commit' problem

[Sisyphus]

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
