I agree with Kenner here.  We've encouraged removal of trailing 
whitespace in the past and I don't why this should be any different.  It 
does make things marginally harder when dealing with branches, but the 
right way to deal with that problem is to avoid trailing whitespace in 
the source tree to begin with.


The problem as I see it is HJ installed the patch without sending it to 
the list.
