I recently changed the configuration of my text editor to
automatically use the "git blame" whitespace flag when using its git
plugin. I did this because there was a tendency for pgindent commits
to freeze everything for several seconds when I made the mistake of
looking at a pgindent commit diff. This approach seems to work nicely,
without any downside that I've noticed.
