I use "svn blame" to find a revision number but then I read the commit. There 
are not only spaces changes, sometimes a newline is inserted, or a function 
is just moved, or...

Regulary when I work on patches. Some files in Modules/*c mix spaces and 
tabs :-/ I would prefer spaces everywhere or tabs everywhere, but please 
don't mix both.

I also hate trailing spaces. My editor is configured to remove them and so I 
have to use >svn diff --diff-cmd="/usr/bin/diff" -x "-ub"< to ignore any 
space change, which break some patches :-/ So if you choose to change the 
indentation, i would be nice to run also >sed "s/[ \t]\+$//g -i/< ;-)
