Junio C Hamano a6080a0a44 War on whitespace
This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have
crept in to our source files over time.  There are a few files that need
to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors).  The results
still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

git-mailsplit(1)
================
NAME
----
git-mailsplit - Simple UNIX mbox splitter program
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-mailsplit' [-b] [-f<nn>] [-d<prec>] -o<directory> [--] [<mbox>|<Maildir>...]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Splits a mbox file or a Maildir into a list of files: "0001" "0002" .. in the
specified directory so you can process them further from there.
IMPORTANT: Maildir splitting relies upon filenames being sorted to output
patches in the correct order.
OPTIONS
-------
<mbox>::
Mbox file to split. If not given, the mbox is read from
the standard input.
<Maildir>::
Root of the Maildir to split. This directory should contain the cur, tmp
and new subdirectories.
<directory>::
Directory in which to place the individual messages.
-b::
If any file doesn't begin with a From line, assume it is a
single mail message instead of signaling error.
-d<prec>::
Instead of the default 4 digits with leading zeros,
different precision can be specified for the generated
filenames.
-f<nn>::
Skip the first <nn> numbers, for example if -f3 is specified,
start the numbering with 0004.
