[Orgmode] git-diff and superfluous whitespace changes

[Sebastian Rose]

Hi,



I just found the projects support in the emacs manual [1] after reading
some mails on emacs-devel, and it works great. Not shure, if this is
emacs23-only.


To prevent patches from containing many lines of superfluous whitespace
changes, I added this simple .dir-settings in org-mode/ to my local
git-branches, and it's just fine [2]:


=> --->8----------------------------->8----------------------------->8---
((nil . ((indent-tabs-mode . t)
         (tab-width . 8)
         (fill-column . 80)))
 ("lisp"
  . ((nil . ((change-log-default-name . "ChangeLog.local"))))))
<= ---8<-----------------------------8<-----------------------------8<---


Now a simple `git-diff' contains no lines with whitespace-only changes
anymore.



Carsten, could something like this be added to the org-mode/ directory?

Does this simple `project support' exist in earlier version of emacs?




Regards,

   Sebastian

 [1]  [[info:emacs:Directory%20Variables][info:emacs:Directory Variables]]

 [2]  I use `indented-tabs-mode nil' and whitespace cleanup here. I'm
      shure there's a lot missing. E.g., I plan to turn on the
      whitespace-cleanup for preceding whitespace again.
