Because it "SPAMs" the commit mailing list, as well as the commit log
(several consecutive messages that say the same thing is not really helpful).
For anyone paranoid, it is also a bit more effort to verify that the commits
are whitespace-only changes (only minimally more as long as there are not
other commits in-between I admit).
Also generally closely related stuff is expected to be committed together, not
split per file.
