The patch application side does even more.  It not just strips
off the leading or trailing blank lines, but duplicate blank
lines in the middle and trailing whitespaces at the end of each
line.

I am of two minds about the formatting side.

The behaviour you found does not go far enough to correct all of
the above whitespace breakage the application side will fix up
on the generation side -- it only corrects one of them.  We
might want to do more, instead of less that you seem to be
implying to favor.
