This one comes on top of it *if* you want to propagate -C/-p as well, but I think it might be a wrong idea to propagate these to begin with. Just like --3way is a one-shot option to deal with a single unapplicable patch (because it was based on an old version) in the whole series, and is designed not to get propagated, I suspect that people use -C<n> to fix a single broken patch and they may expect it not to apply to the whole series. The breakage --whitespace deals with is an attribute of the submitter (use of a broken editor and lack of diligence). You most often feed a single series from the same submitter in the same mbox to "git am", preserving the --whitespace=fix option during the same "am" run makes sense, and somewhat more importantly, even though the option indeed modifies what you received, the change the option causes and the risk of breaking the semantics of the patch is minimum. I am not sure the breakage --3way deals with falls into the exactly the same category, but it is similar (if the first patch in the series was based on an old version, it is very likely that the subsequent ones are also based on the same old version). So after all it might be better to propagate --3way as well (which this patch does not do). If we decide that propagating --3way is a good thing, then it would be equally good to propagate -C, -p and --directory options.
