Whitespace errors in the git commits - autoformat before commit

[gcp]

Issue

Looking at the git log of a bunch of aider commits, I see a lot of red due to whitespace errors (e.g. lines with just a bunch of spaces in them). I'm guessing this is an issue for most programming languages (I'm using Rust and C++).

It would be nice if aider either could clean this up itself before committing, or support common code formatting tools (clang-format, rustfmt, ...) to automatically do this before committing.

support common code formatting tools (clang-format, rustfmt, ...) to automatically do this before committing.

To be clear, I'm aware this could potentially be done with hooks, but that's not appropriate for all codebases. Still, the code that aider writes could be cleaned up.
