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-unpack-objects(1)
=====================
NAME
----
git-unpack-objects - Unpack objects from a packed archive
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-unpack-objects' [-n] [-q] [-r] <pack-file
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Read a packed archive (.pack) from the standard input, expanding
the objects contained within and writing them into the repository in
"loose" (one object per file) format.
Objects that already exist in the repository will *not* be unpacked
from the pack-file. Therefore, nothing will be unpacked if you use
this command on a pack-file that exists within the target repository.
Please see the `git-repack` documentation for options to generate
new packs and replace existing ones.
OPTIONS
-------
-n::
Dry run. Check the pack file without actually unpacking
the objects.
-q::
The command usually shows percentage progress. This
flag suppresses it.
-r::
When unpacking a corrupt packfile, the command dies at
the first corruption. This flag tells it to keep going
and make the best effort to recover as many objects as
possible.
