In this case, the user could use an alias "blame = blame -w" in his
git configuration.

Actually this is not only style. There are technical issues with them.
Spaces at the end of a line can be lost, and tabs are automatically
converted to spaces in some contexts. Thus avoiding tabs and trailing
spaces makes patches more robust (e.g. if they appear on the web).
Moreover, tabs make diffs less readable.
