It would be helpful to have utilities for detecting common whitespace and encoding problems in patches: trailing whitespace in context or added lines, mixed tabs and spaces, inconsistent line endings (CRLF vs LF), and non-UTF-8 content. These are frequent causes of patch application failures and are tedious to detect manually.
