AIUI, that's the opposite — it's about dealing with whitespace when
applying patches, not pretending that whitespace changes don't exist
when generating diffs.

My suggestion would be to alias `git d` (or similar) to `git diff -b`,
leaving plain `git diff` unmolested.  But I realise that isn't quite
what you asked for, Smylers.
