Suggest reading blead's Super Quick Patch Guide
The Super Quick Patch Guide has been improved several times. Suggest that a patcher looks at the latest version in the checkout of blead they've just made, in case that's been improved since whichever released version they were reading. This has caught me out before: I've done something sub-optimal (for me or those reviewing my patches) by diligently following out-of-date instructions. Remove trailing whitespace. For: RT #119599
