Here is excerpt from your email "TMerge: fixing inconsistencies on save"

It works as I expect from code.

Let me elaborate little bit about posibilities so before next rewrite we
will better know what we want to get.

  * Eols and tailing whites - can be detected on the fly
     * always asked if detected
     * always fixed
     * fixed with or without asking if was ok on load - error introduced
by editing in T-Merge, T-Merges purposes in first place is to be
diff/merge tool not an edit, so most of this error comes from other
sources so will be present on load anyway
     * fixed with or without asking if was ok on "left" view (not sure
about merge)
Now if you start to build map of all possibly useful version its quite
big thing
My favorite would be:
     Auto fix if it was ok in left, ask otherwise.

To make it less complex we may add some notification in view title, or
status bar, but it may require lot of processing or very good design.
Lets stick we current approach for a while.

In spaces and tabs conversion it become even more complex.
Your left file may be all space indented and saving file all tabs. Is
this correct or not ? In current implementation it is correct as it is
self homogeniuos.

And then if you ignore left/load state you need set preferred indentation.

All can be implemented but before that we need be clear what we want.
