result. This allows binary files to be patched in a
very limited way.
+--whitespace=<option>::
+ When applying a patch, detect a new or modified line
+ that ends with trailing whitespaces (this includes a
+ line that solely consists of whitespaces). By default,
+ the command outputs warning messages and applies the
+ patch.
+ When `git-apply` is used for statistics and not applying a
+ patch, it defaults to `nowarn`.
+ You can use different `<option>` to control this
+ behaviour:
++
+* `nowarn` turns off the trailing whitespace warning.
+* `warn` outputs warnings for a few such errors, but applies the
+ patch (default).
+* `error` outputs warnings for a few such errors, and refuses
+ to apply the patch.
+* `error-all` is similar to `error` but shows all errors.
+* `strip` outputs warnings for a few such errors, strips out the
+ trailing whitespaces and applies the patch.
