The whitespace policy varies based on the project (and in some cases,
based on the file within that project).  It shouldn't vary from user to
user or repo to repo.  So the configuration variable mechanism seems a
poor match.  Would it be possible to use something like gitattributes
instead?  Then the whitespace policy would be associated with the
project itself, would automatically be propagated on clone, etc.

Thanks for working on this.
