People who configured trailing-space depended on it to catch both extra
white space at the end of line, and extra blank lines at the end of file.
Earlier attempt to introduce only blank-at-eof gave them an escape hatch
to keep the old behaviour, but it is a regression until they explicitly
specify the new error class.
This introduces a blank-at-eol that only catches extra white space at the
end of line, and makes the traditional trailing-space a convenient synonym
to catch both blank-at-eol and blank-at-eof. This way, people who used
trailing-space continue to catch both classes of errors.

"git apply" strips new blank lines at EOF under --whitespace=fix option,
but neigher --whitespace=warn nor --whitespace=error paid any attention to
these errors.
Introduce a new whitespace error class, blank-at-eof, to make the
whitespace error handling more consistent.
The patch adds a new "linenr" field to the struct fragment in order to
record which line the hunk started in the input file, but this is needed
solely for reporting purposes. The detection of this class of whitespace
errors cannot be done while parsing a patch like we do for all the other
classes of whitespace errors. It instead has to wait until we find where
to apply the hunk, but at that point, we do not have an access to the
original line number in the input file anymore, hence the new field.
Depending on your point of view, this may be a bugfix that makes warn and
error in line with fix. Or you could call it a new feature. The line
between them is somewhat fuzzy in this case.
Strictly speaking, triggering more errors than before is a change in
behaviour that is not backward compatible, even though the reason for the
change is because the code was not checking for an error that it should
have. People who do not want added blank lines at EOF to trigger an error
can disable the new error class.

Rewrite the gc section using unresolved and resolved instead of "not
recorded". Add plurals and missing articles. Make some sentences have
consistent tense. Try and be more active by removing "that" and
simplifying sentences.

When no tagger was found (old Git produced tags like this),
no "tagger" line is printed (but this is incompatible with the current
git fast-import).
Alternatively, you can pass the option --fake-missing-tagger, forcing
fast-export to fake a tagger
Unspecified Tagger <no-tagger>
with a tag date of the beginning of (Unix) time in the case of a missing
tagger, so that fast-import is still able to import the result.
