This is the first step in making sure that "git rebase --whitespace=fix HEAD~<number>"
will never fail.

As suggested by Junio, the first step consists in changing "git apply whitespace=fix"
to be smarter about previously deleted blank lines at the end of the file.

I would be grateful for any feedback on the design decisions and the implementation.

Björn Gustavsson (3):
  apply: Allow blank context lines to match beyond EOF
  t4124: Add additional tests of --whitespace=fix
  t3417: Add test cases for "rebase --whitespace=fix"
