Subject: [PATCH 1/6] whitespace: we cannot "catch all errors known to git"
 anymore

Traditionally, "*.txt whitespace" in .gitattributes file has been an
instruction to catch _all_ classes of whitespace errors known to git.

This has to change, however, in order to introduce "tab-in-indent" which
is inherently incompatible with "indent-with-non-tab".  As we do not want
to break configuration of existing users, add a mechanism to allow marking
selected rules to be excluded from "all rules known to git".

Subject: [PATCH 2/6] whitespace: add tab-in-indent error class

Some projects and languages use coding style where no tab character is used to
indent the lines.

This only adds support and documentation for "apply --whitespace=warn" and
"diff --check"; later patches add "apply --whitespace=fix" and tests.

Subject: [PATCH 4/6] whitespace: replumb ws_fix_copy to take a strbuf *dst
 instead of char *dst

To implement --whitespace=fix for tab-in-indent, we have to allow for the
possibility that whitespace can increase in size when it is fixed, expanding
tabs to to multiple spaces in the initial indent.
