`git blame -w` to ignore whitespace. There are other good options (like `-M`, ignore moved lines) available in the documentation.

I really wish GitHub would show me all diffs with `-w` by default, with a switch to turn it off...

Adding a query parameter of w=1 to a github page with a diff will ignore whitespace changes.

Yep, but I end up sticking that parameter on to a lot of URLs, so I'd like that to happen for every time I view a diff.
