I have done a step by step explanation of what I have done:

It seem to me that the whitespace are added after I do this command:
git format-patch -s -n master..mybranch

Do "git rebase --whitespace=fix master" and git will try to fix whitespaces.

thx Michal,

But the problem remain:

If I'm not mistaken "git rebase --whitespace=fix master" should do the
trick.  I'm out of good ideas if it does not.  Best I can advice is to
fix the patch by hand -- just edit it in some decent editor and remove
trailing whitespaces from those lines.
