Vipin,

A good test is to generate the patches using git format-patch
then apply them to a new, separate branch using git am.
Whitespace problems will cause rejects.

You can use git am --whitespace=fix on each patch if necessary,
then regenerate the git format-patch set from that new branch.

cheers, Joe
