Hi, Because we have a few files in which ediff doesn't handle whitespace differences well, we have added an option to the ediff menu that allows to add the options -Bbw to the diff command (actually an on/off toggle0, so that whitespace is ignored in the diff output before the difference regions are calculated. We think that this option may be useful to include in the official emacs. Please have a look at the attached patch and let us know what you think. ____ This message and any files transmitted with it are legally privileged and intended for the sole use of the individual(s) or entity to whom they are addressed.
