Does that really qualify as a _gratuitous_ whitespace diff ? He's made changes to the two lines above, and then wrapped the line since it's now really long. I'd have thought that since the surrounding text has changed, it's not going to be too hard for anyone to notice. Can I get some second opinions on this, since I do similar things most of the time (if changes to a line make it really long, insert a newline while I'm at it) ??
