+--whitespace=<option>::
+       When applying a patch, detect a new or modified line
+       that ends with trailing whitespaces (this includes a
+       line that solely consists of whitespaces).  By default,
+       the command outputs warning messages and applies the
+       patch.
+       When `git-apply` is used for statistics and not applying a

+* `nowarn` turns off the trailing whitespace warning.
+* `warn` outputs warnings for a few such errors, but applies the
+  patch (default).
+* `error` outputs warnings for a few such errors, and refuses
+  to apply the patch.
+* `error-all` is similar to `error` but shows all errors.
+* `strip` outputs warnings for a few such errors, strips out the
+  trailing whitespaces and applies the patch.
