Can I further recommend that the purpose of the feature should be to try
to match context lines and 'minus' lines against the target file,
ignoring those kinds of white space differences, and to insert 'plus'
lines exactly as they are received in the patch, and *not* try to guess
what combination of white space the 'plus' lines should have.  (I am
convinced that any scheme for trying to guess what the 'plus' lines
should look like could only work in a very limited set of cases, and
would make changes that are not wanted in other cases.)
