This patch does a lot more than what it claims it does.

Try to apply Jakub's 10 patch series with this, with --whitespace=fix, and
notice that the 9th patch gets all the blank lines removed, claiming that
114 lines had whitespace errors, even though there is only one trailing
whitespace. 

Here is a fix.  I am pissed at myself not spotting this earlier.  The
worst part is that it is part of 'maint' and all integration branches
needs fixing.

Subject: [PATCH] Fix severe breakage in "git-apply --whitespace=fix"

735c674 (Trailing whitespace and no newline fix, 2009-07-22) completely
broke --whitespace=fix, causing it to lose all the empty lines in a patch.
