Hi Dmitry,

I think you forgot to attach the log files. I don't see anything
attached to your mail. Could you please check it once?

Since I don't know the exact warnings, I can't speak about those.
However, from what I see, gnulib-tool.py has a lot of trailing
whitespaces. That is lines that end with a whitespace character. This is
usually discouraged, and my guess is exactly what the commit hooks are
catching on to. You could try to set your editor to highlight such
spaces or even to delete them on saving a file. Or you could use a regex
like: `s/\s\+$//g` to remove all the trailing whitespaces
