Since ignore-whitespace/eol-style are the important things I want to
accomplish; i remove -p from the patch for now. People can use an
external diff tool for -p, but for blame and merge, it is not that easy:
- blame does not use an external diff (and we don't want to go down that
slippery slope parsing external diff output)
- The standard diff3 has no options to ignore whitespace changes.

Best,
