Trailing whitespace not working

See original GitHub issue

I just installed pre-commit, added this .pre-commit-config.yaml file:

# See http://pre-commit.com for more information
# See http://pre-commit.com/hooks.html for more hooks
repos:
-   repo: https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit-hooks
    sha: v1.1.1
    hooks:
    -   id: trailing-whitespace

and added a trailing space to a line in a file in the project, staged it, and when I commit it, it commits with the space, instead of removing it.

Yep, this approach was taken as hooks can sometimes be wrong and it allows the human some chance to double check the machine.

Neither did I 😂 We go lucky I found it by mistake and fixed it easily, so others wouldn’t suffer.
