Re: 2.17.0 Regression When Adding Patches Without Whitespace In Initial Column

Hi Jeff,

Ever since 2.17.0, when saving a patch (using add --patch
but probably other ways as well), if the whitespace is
removed from the initial column, the patch doesn't apply.

This sounds a bit like the issue discussed in this thread a
few weeks ago:

https://public-inbox.org/git/e8aedc6b-5b3e-cfb2-be9d-971bfd9adde8@talktalk.net/

But I didn't download or watch the video, so I'm not positive.

Full walkthrough (including comparison with 2.16.3) in the
video attached to this link:
