Attached to this email is chomp.pl, a Perl script which removes trailing whitespace from several files. I've had this for years, as trailing whitespace is one of my pet peeves.
Now that git-applymbox complains loudly whenever a patch adds trailing whitespace, I figured this script may be useful to others.
This is the script I use for the same purpose. It's a bit more sophisticated, in that it detects and avoids binary files, and doesn't throw an error if it encounters a directory (which can happen if you give it a wildcard.)
