I wonder about this too as that's the way I most often use to check changes.

Looks like it does not use the “-w”, though I’m not sure if it’s configurable.

here is a link

I found the answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/444 ... -on-github

To test:
A while ago I had one of these commits that changed the line-endings of a file git commit 71dae0e63
When you look at the changes then the file src/Mod/Import/Gui/AppImportGuiPy.cpp has many whitespace changes. If you follow the solution and add ?w=1 at the end of the url you will see that only a few lines have actually changed in that file.

some informations. I had trouble on interactive rebases if adding the gitattribute file and the normalizing is in sparate commits. Thus I put it into one commit. The PR as it is now is how I would like to merge it into master.

IMHO, After the merge we should wait some time how does it work out until we do think about further changes in this regard.
