Git documents this in 'git apply' man page. In this patchset, the errors appear
to be simple blank lines at the end.

       --whitespace=<action>
           When applying a patch, detect a new or modified line that has
           whitespace errors. What are considered whitespace errors is
           controlled by core.whitespace configuration. By default, trailing
           whitespaces (including lines that solely consist of whitespaces) and
           a space character that is immediately followed by a tab character
           inside the initial indent of the line are considered whitespace
           errors.

           By default, the command outputs warning messages but applies the
           patch. When git-apply is used for statistics and not applying a
           patch, it defaults to nowarn.

           You can use different <action> values to control this behavior:

           •   nowarn turns off the trailing whitespace warning.

           •   warn outputs warnings for a few such errors, but applies the
               patch as-is (default).

           •   fix outputs warnings for a few such errors, and applies the
               patch after fixing them (strip is a synonym — the tool used to
               consider only trailing whitespace characters as errors, and the
               fix involved stripping them, but modern Gits do more).

           •   error outputs warnings for a few such errors, and refuses to
               apply the patch.

           •   error-all is similar to error but shows all errors.
