Ah!

It's not an occasion, that this script does job of two, you are referring
to. I should add documentation to this script, that will far longer, that
script itself.

-*- slightly i/o optimized <clean-whitespace.sh> -*-
#!/bin/sh -e
# clean whitespace damage; i/o=stdin/stdout
#
IFS='' ; t="`printf '\t'`" ; s=' ' ; s7="$s$s$s$s$s$s$s" ; w79=79 ;
case $0 in *diff* | *patch*) p='+' ; s='';; esac

expand | while read line
do case "$line" in
   ++*) echo "$line";;
   $p*)	[ ${#line} -gt $w79 ] && : ${long:=line}
	echo "$line" | sed "/^$p/{s_ *\$__;s_^$p$s7${s}_$p${t}_;s_$s7 _${t}_g}"
	;;
     *) echo "$line";;
   esac
done
[ -n "$long" ] && echo "at least one line, wider than $w79 chars, found" 1>&2

-*-

First line stops word splitting, puts tab symbol in t, space in s,
seven spaces to s7 and line width limit to w79.

Second -- adjust set variables for need of unified diff processing, if
name of the script $0 (can be changed to match command-line
parameters) have "diff" or "patch".

Last -- bark, if there is at least one line longer that w79.

Rest is processing of files/patches to expand(posix tool) tabs to spaces
then:
- patches are processed only by lines, starting from `+', but not `++'
- remove trailing whitespace;
- substitute eight spaces to one tab symbol
- patches have "linestart`+tab'" expanded to seven spaces, due to `+' and
  tabstop, thus seven spaces are substituted in this case.

Anything else, if have not noticed in whitespace damage matching can be
added on request ;)
