That makes it sound as if you would need a patch to fix your editor or
whatever you are using for copy/paste, rather than git, no?

I do not personally have need to ignore paths whose names end with
whitespaces, and I do not think anybody with such a need is sane, so in
that sense your patch would be less harmful than the purist in me finds
issues in it ;-)

But it changes the documented behaviour that requires documentation
updates, yes?
