OH, at least, need delete white spaces.

OK, I will send patch v2 for it (which will remove the waste
'beautifying' operation).

No, that only means I still need improving my patch sending.

Hmm... for 'learning', I think: "learn with each other, never too old to
learn, never stop learning", so we can learn from most of patches or
replies which sent by many members.

e.g. I understand that for beautifying code, I need more consideration:
not only about coding style rules, but also the readers from 'git' and
the reviewers from 'diff'.

If no reply, I will(of cause) no reply either.

Especially, every members' time resource is always expensive.


Thanks.
