At this point I'd say that being able to browse the history is more
important than ignoring whitespaces.
If you hit a commit named "clean up indentation" you know that you have
to search once more. Being able to do that fast is more important than
ignoring white spaces in the first place - because changing spaces and
moving lines is only one operating of many which should preserve
behaviour - meaning you can skip that commit when blaming ..

So if you say "git can do that" - also tell about how often you actually
use that feature - because if you don't it looks like "Let me find a
feature only this VCS has - even though I'm not using it.."
That would be fair - and can help everyone to find the best solution in
the end.

So how much minutes did this feature save you in the past? How often did
you actually use it? Estimations are ok.
