From 85736a27c8cdddcc65ff769852fde60834f302c7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Yann E. MORIN" Date: Tue, 11 Jun 2024 21:46:47 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] editorconfig: leave patch files alone wrt trainling spaces It is perfectly valid for a patch file to have trailing spaces, when for example an empty or space-only line is appears in a hunk: if the line if part of the context, whether it be empty or with only spaces, there will aways be the leading space introduced by the patch itsef, making for a sapce-only line; if the line is space-only and removed (or added) that will also appear as a space-only line. Currently, our editorconfig wants to unconditionally drop trailing spaces, so when one edits a patch file to add their SoB and Upstream tags, such a patch would get badly mangled and would not apply, causing quite some grief and questioning (sad experience looming in the recent past here)...
