Subject: [PATCH 6/9] New option --ignore-whitespace for git-apply.

From: Robert Fitzsimons <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 28 Aug 2005 15:24:52 +0000

Allow the user to force a patch to be applied even though there might
be whitespace differences.  Added a test case for the new option.

Signed-off-by: Robert Fitzsimons <[email-masked]>
