Description

I have this in my report:

-1	whitespace	0m 0s	The patch has 2298 line(s) that end in whitespace. Use git apply --whitespace=fix.

The 2298 lines are from files generated by protoc. I could try fixing protoc to not add the odd space at the end of a line but other tools than protoc probably have this tick.

It would be sweet if I could configure the whitespace tooling passing a list of regexes to exclude when generating the report (Sean suggest it be a command-line config and told me file this issue). Thanks.
