lintspaces is run on binary files

[ellispritchard]

I've added a .png file to my repo, for an architecture diagram.

Unfortunately the _verify_lintspaces target tries to run lintspaces on every git recorded file, including the PNG file, which obviously breaks the build.

lintspaces should only run on text files, or restrict to known extensions, rather than on the entire output of git ls-files -z $1 | tr '\0' '\n' | xargs -I {} find {} ! -type l

hmm, i think the command to execute lintspaces is correct but instead we just need to tweak the .editorconfig file. Are you using the default .editorconfig file or you own version?

Suspect it's this line in the .editorconfig file causing the pain:-

The default from make updatetools

yup, let's tweak that - https://github.com/Financial-Times/n-makefile/blob/master/config/.editorconfig#L3
