Subject: 24.1.50;
	delete-trailing-whitespace now removes empty lines at end of file
Date: Sun, 8 Jul 2012 00:35:52 -0700

This is a regression from emacs 23.

In emacs 24, delete-trailing-whitespace remove blank lines at the end of a buffer. Previously this function would remove trailing whitespace on a line, but not change the number of lines.

Steps to reproduce: 
   1. Open a new buffer
   2. Enter a few lines of text
   3. Enter a few blank lines after the text
   4. Run M-x delete-trailing-whitespace

Expected behavior: 
   Number of lines to be unchanged. Blank lines at end of text should be there which was the behavior in emacs 23 and previous versions.

Observed behavior:
  Blank lines after the text  are removed. If the buffer is only blank lines, the first one survives the delete-trailing-whitespace.
