Hint 1:  'git log' supports --no-merges which can simplify things sometimes.

Hint 2:   When specifying a commit, there is a ~ operator that can be used to advantage here.

So once you figure out which commit did the whitespace patching, it's easy to get
git blame to cough up what the tree looked like just before.
