Some trailing spaces - or rather; supposedly empty lines with spaces.
Attached a screenshot of how you should see that with 'git diff'

Ticket details:
As noted by lachu in #45889, delta protocol currently considers each counter package to replace others - i.e. even unchanged counters get sent because another counter has been sent in between.
Simplest way to fix this would be to make both the "counter owner" (e.g. city id, in case of city counters) and counter id keys, but that would mean num cities * num counters separate packages to be kept. Also, calling send_...() separately for each counter is a bit heavier task than it needs to be. Maybe rearrange network protocol so that entire counter array is sent as a single package (delta protocol would still skip elements that have not changed) and just the owner (city id) is the key - this would *also* mean that city id is sent just once for the entire array, and not once for each separate counter value.
Once we have multiple counter_target types, it's probably better to have separate packet type for each than to include the target type in the package (and have that affect how the "owner" id gets interpreted)
