For git-apply's whitespace fixing code. Why? Because for the user the message trailling whitespace was not clear In fact the problem was a dos/unix format not a trailling space. but whitespace=fix solve this problem. I was surprise first because I was looking for remaining space at the end of lines of the patch not this CR+LF things. Maybe git apply should warn the user a different way if their is that sort of dos/unix imcompatibilities. thanks Frederic
