git whitespace woes

How can I setup get to not report conflicts purely due to whitespace on a merge, like the following ?

<<<<<<< HEAD
    open RESDBFILE, "< $this_day_result_file_";
    while ( my $resdbline_ = <RESDBFILE> )
    {
        my @rwords_ = split ' ', $resdbline_;
        if ( exists $uncaliberated_strategies_{$rwords_[0]} )
        { # if this strategy_filename_base was there in @strategy_filevec_
        delete $uncaliberated_strategies_{$rwords_[0]};
        }
    }
    close RESDBFILE;

Answer 1

Try:

$ git merge -s ignore-all-space

For more details:

$ git help merge
/whitespace

Answer 2

You can try setting the core.whitespace config to see if that helps.
