+Description: Identify and fix problematic whitespace in text files.
+ The space program won't send you to the moon, but it will identify
+ and fix problems such as trailing whitespace and spaces before tabs.
+ It can safely update files in place, and could therefore be used as part
+ of a commit hook.
