Yes, that would be a much better option if I could find out exactly why the CDT editor has inserted those white-space changes. I was already looking into that so that this doesn't happen in the future. If you have any guidance on that it would be helpful. Unfortunately, this time, it already happened before I noticed it, and I'm loathe to go back and re-make all the changes. For this time round I can just generate the patch diffs from the command line and I'll live with the extra white-space diffs for this submission (I guess there's no "ignore whitespace" option on the commit is there?).

We have a very diverse set of developers (not unusual) who work on Windows, Linux/UNIX, and even VMS, so there may be all kinds of formats in the files that come down from subversion that the editor has to deal with, I think the CDT editor seems to be confused about some of it and inserts whitespace for some tabs or newlines. This may be a problem that we simply can't solve, and I really don't want to have to edit the files outside Eclipse, it would defeat most of the point of having an IDE.
