Hmm, I can't figure this out.

I just applied my original patch to master (cleanly), and checked the
snippet (both in input/new and input/lsr) for trailing whitespace.
There was only one line with trailing whitespace.  Before applying the
patch, the two files still only containing one line with trailing
whitespace.

However, the *patch* contained trailing whitespace on some of the
empty lines as well, but it still applied cleanly for me.

Maybe this is a bug in "git format-patch" in my installed git verson
(1.6.3.1).  It seems odd that "git format-patch" would add trailing
whitespace.

I created a fresh patch and manually removed all of the trailing
whitespace from it, except for the one in the texidoc which I fixed.
Let me know if this one works.

Thanks,
Patrick
