An unusual quirk of git is that it tends not to like trailing whitespace
at the end of lines, and trailing blank lines at the end of a file. It
messes with the word diffs a bit I think. Anyway, it's easily removed,
so I've removed it.
This is perhaps less than ideal, but it should make the scripts work in
any web directory you put the repository into. As such, this should be
considered part of the "initial state" trying to match Ivan's current
non-SCM setup. We can adjust this later if he does something different
on his end.
