Avoid having "This patch" or "This commit" in the commit message. It is
tautologically useless.

Also, do

$ git grep 'This patch' Documentation/process

for more details.

Also, feel free to peruse that whole directory.

So just the effort to create a whole patch just for that is an overkill.

Please do not do that. If you notice very minor style issues like that, you can
do them when touching this code as part of a change with more substance. Or you
can simply ignore such minor issues.

Whitespace cleanup like that gets in the way of real work and pretty much all
maintainers are overworked already.

So I'd appreciate it if you concentrate on real fixes and improvements.

Thx.
