git - started complaining about whitespace?

[Tarun Pondicherry]

Hi,

Recently, I tried to commit some changes and I got several messages 
about trailing whitespace.  I tried to redownload that same library 
(Zend GData) again and check it in, but had the same issues.  There was 
no problem with that library when I first put it in a few weeks ago.  I 
tried looking online, but the git-config fixes did not work for me.  The 
files are Unix formatted so it is not the CR bug.  I'm very new to git.  
Is there a way to make git ignore this issue?

Thanks,
Tarun
