Trailing whitespace in texmacs gives git-whitespace warnings; and it has 
brought me trouble before when I used Lyx,

I'm looking at some git clean-filter cleanups that can find an 
alternative representation.

To demonstrate, I'll use _ to represent space.

The line:

---8<------8<---
hello__
---8<------8<---

is stored in texmacs as:
---8<------8<---
hello_\_
---8<------8<---

But it seems like this representation will do as well:

---8<------8<---
hello_\_\

---8<---

It seems like an extra \ and new-line can be suffixed onto a trailing 
space and the document still parse as normal; I applied this sed to a 
document:

sed -e 's/ $/ \\\n/'

and then loaded and re-saved the document and it was restored to it's 
original form.

So... does anyone have any comments on a git clean commit script adding 
\\\n to the end of lines ending in white space so that there are no 
longer lines ending in white space?

Sam
