Re: [PATCH 3/3] notes: don't indent empty lines

Like other Git commands, `git notes` takes care to call `stripspace` on
the user-supplied note content, thereby ensuring that it has no trailing
whitespace, among other cleanups. However, when notes are inserted into
a patch via `git format-patch --notes`, all lines of the note are
indented unconditionally, including empty lines, which leaves trailing
whitespace on lines which previously were empty, thus negating the
normalization done earlier. Fix this shortcoming.
Playing the devil's advocate, it can be argued that using the same
leading whitespace on a paragraph break line is actually a good
thing.  Leaving them in would give the consumer an easy way to see
which part was inserted from a note.
