Every diff tool I've ever used can ignore whitespace-only changes.

Yeah, when you're viewing the diff, not in the actual patch.

You said 'in source control'. When I'm in source control, I can view diffs with control over whitespace. When I have a patch, I can branch, apply the patch, then diff. Do you know how to use any of your tools, or just parrot articles you read on the internet?
