      SourceTree's diff view shows a lot of unwanted whitespace differences. This slows the process of checking through the diff hunks before committing a file.

      The problem seems worse when working with XAML files.

      Whitespace differences can be filtered out easily in external tools; it would be great if SourceTree could do this too.

      If you add this feature, please consider having separate options for "ignore changes to existing whitespace" and "ignore all whitespace".

            I can't see this option in v. 2.0.5.2 (Mac OS) either

            Thanks, Kor. I was looking for that check box and apparently missed this menu.

            Heh, I found this one Maxim, let me enlighten you:

            When in the File status or Log views, there's that gears dropdown below the file list (and right above the file changes). Click that and hit the Ignore whitespace option

            No idea how I managed to miss that!

            Thanks, and sorry for timewasting.

            This is already supported, it's in the bar at the top of the diff view (both for locally modified files and commit diffs):
