[LEDE-DEV] Patch refresh issues - mystery whitespace

[Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant]

Dear Illuminati,

I have a bit of a mystery with patch refreshes, namely that I’m occasionally getting extra whitespace on the end of some block header patch lines (Lines beginning @@).  As a result my kernel patch refreshes touch more files than are actually really required and I don’t consider suitable for submitting.

I’ve attached (hopefully it’ll get through) a bump to 4.4.106 on master branch that exhibits the problem, as an extreme example, take a look at lines 1941 & 1950 - where did all those extra tabs come from?

I have the prescribed .quilt_rc file

QUILT_DIFF_ARGS="--no-timestamps --no-index -p ab --color=auto"
QUILT_REFRESH_ARGS="--no-timestamps --strip-trailing-whitespace --no-index -p ab"
QUILT_PATCH_OPTS="--unified"
QUILT_DIFF_OPTS="-p"
QUILT_SERIES_ARGS="--color=auto"

Of course I’m doing this on a mac, but I’m pretty sure others here work on the project do so too and don’t hit this problem.  Help :-)


Cheers,
