Try running:
git config --global color.ui auto
This will activate colorful output for all git commands (in particular for `git diff' too).
Then, when you run `git diff' from a terminal you will see whitespace errors (eg. trailing whitespace) highlighted with a red background.
Hope it helps, Octavian
