I recommend quilt package for managing patches:
"quilt refresh --strip-trailing-whitespace" is your friend..
o.k. I resent this.. fixed the whitespace(hopefully)
and add your Acked to it.
as for quilt I'll have to look into that..
(using a lfs system, so if the sourcecode is easy
to deal with(build), then it's a good but if it becomes
a nightmare maybe not!!).
Since you appear to generate the patches with git, you can use "git diff
--check [...]" for some basic whitespace checks (additions of trailing
space, additions of space before tab). For more extensive checks, try
"git diff [...] | scripts/checkpatch.pl -". Check this before you
commit. If you committed already, "git commit --amend [-a] [...]" lets
you alter the very last commit of course.
