Certainly the file itself will be better. Only slightly in my opinion,
whitespace at the end of lines doesn't both me much.
The question is what about the *VC annotated* file? If I blame a
particular section of a file how do I know who wrote that code and when?
The problem is I can't tell because any particular check-in could be a
whitespace change. I'd actually have to start digging through older
versions.
Christian Kruse is correct that diffs can be handled, but they're not
the only problem.
