- Subject: whitespace fixes
I have some small changes to whitespacing that I'm thinking of
dropping into the tree. Roughly speaking, deleting trailing
whitespace and canonicalizing leading spaces into tabs and continued
tabbing mid line, if there was already at least one tab.
I'd like to check them in soon as obvious, but due to the timing and
size, thought I should give a heads up here first. Scream if you
have any concerns.
Brief stats:
4,781 files
272,699 lines of diffs
I thought it would be better to do this after we forked for the next
release than before. I'm thinking it would be better to do it all at
once, so that people doing merges could merge to the point just
before, merge it, then merge the rest, if they wanted. This should
reduce the any pain for the larger merges (I know about the pain, I
gotta do a merge myself).
I've audited the work in many different ways (no files with
upstreams, no generated files, avoided `fixing' the backslash tests,
audited most all the deleting trailing whitespace changes, audited
diff -b, audited filenames by extensions or by whole name when there
was no extension and so on) and should be very, very close to
perfect, though it isn't inconceivable that there is a fixup that
should not be. For example, a non-standard generated file that is
modified.
