svn blame -x "-b" will do the trick for SVN. Perhaps there's even some .subversion/config option to set this globally.

The question really is: How often do Python developers use svn blame ?

I use "svn blame" to find a revision number but then I read the commit. There are not only spaces changes, sometimes a newline is inserted, or a function is just moved, or...

The question to put up against this is: How often do you get irritated by lines not being correctly indented ?

Regulary when I work on patches. Some files in Modules/*c mix spaces and tabs :-/ I would prefer spaces everywhere or tabs everywhere, but please don't mix both.

I also hate trailing spaces. My editor is configured to remove them and so I have to use >svn diff --diff-cmd="/usr/bin/diff" -x "-ub"< to ignore any space change, which break some patches :-/ So if you choose to change the indentation, i would be nice to run also >sed "s/[ \t]+$//g -i/< ;-)
