From: Jakob Meng <c...@jakobmeng.de>
A patch created with 'git format-patch' can contain trailing spaces.
When editing a patch, e.g. to fix a typo in the title, the trailing
spaces should not be removed. This becomes tricky when editors like
Kate identify a space followed by form feed as a trailing space and
remove both. This will result in a broken patch which cannot be applied
cleanly. Although this case should likely be considered a editor bug,
keeping trailing spaces in a patch is the right thing to do and also
helps mitigating these kinds of editor bugs.
Fixes: 07f6d6a0cb51 ("Add editorconfig file.")
