I don't know how, but it does. vim does too sometimes (I use both
editors)

That drops it on all. This means when I edit something which already
has trailing spaces then the diff is full of noise. That would
be a cure far worse than the disease[1]

Ideal would be if git-commit dropped them on all new lines, similar to
git-apply --whitespace=fix and quilt refresh, but it doesn't seem to know how.

But normally maintainers just set these options (at least I do and Andrew
does too) so it doesn't really matter if the submitted patch has trailing
spaces or not because they disappear on the way up.

And that said I refuse to write any more on this silly bike shed topic.

[1] to be honest I'm not sure i are actually a disease since I don't
know of any single problem they cause.
