Re: [PATCH] No diff -b/-w output for all-whitespace changes

Thomas Rast wrote

Judging from the test, this parses as

  Change git-diff's whitespace-ignoring modes to generate
  output only if a non-(empty patch, which git-apply
  rejects) results.

which is a bit weird, isn't it? :-)

Yes, rotten wording. I meant git-apply rejects empty patches,
so let's not do that!

I chose this route rather than making git-apply more
forgiving because as currently implemented, git-diff is not
entirely ignoring whitespace when commanded to do so.
