warning: "git am --whitespace=fix" broken in 1.6.4-rc2

From: Junio C Hamano

I am very sorry that I did not spot this earlier, but 1.6.4-rc2 has a
quite serious bug in "git apply --whitespace=fix" (hence "git am" with the
same option) in that it can lose all the added empty lines when it detects
any trailing spaces. I've sent a fix out already, and am planning to
issue 1.6.4-rc3 this weekend, but in the meantime, please do not use it,
nor any version that contains commit 735c674 (Trailing whitespace and no
newline fix, 2009-07-22).

Unfortunately the commit is included in all recent integration branches
down to 'maint'. I'll push out the fixes for them soonish.

Sorry for the trouble.
