Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-11923:
-----------------------------------------
I don't see why we should care about whitespace in patch; we can just lay down
that whoever commits the patch needs to merge it in with
{code}
git apply --whitespace=fix
{code}
& let git sort things out.
> test-patch whitespace checker doesn't flag new files

> The whitespace plugin for test-patch only examines new files. So when a patch
> comes in with trailing whitespace on new files it doesn't flag things as a
> problem.
