I actually started yesterday higher-up, with "GNU *Coding Standards*"
here: https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html It does address
some of the software dev standards and practices of GNU in general.
The ./CONTRIBUTE file pointed to ./admin/notes, so I thought this file
might be patched with the white space wisdom (including the underlying
rationale, e.g. git blame issues):
./admin/notes/git-workflow
Git blame does have the -w option to ignore whitespace, but I haven't
had to use git blame. In general, I use a graphical tool called
Meld--because the complexity of diffing overwhelms the symbolic part of
my brain and I have to use more of the visual part.
I realized too, that this whole topic makes a good case for, in any
project, picking an indentation style, maybe enforcing it in commits,
and sticking with it.
