Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-11923: ----------------------------------------- I don't see why we should care about whitespace in patch; we can just lay down that whoever commits the patch needs to merge it in with {code} git apply --whitespace=fix {code} & let git sort things out. > test-patch whitespace checker doesn't flag new files > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-11923 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11923 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Sean Busbey > Priority: Critical > Labels: BB2015-05-TBR > Attachments: HADOOP-11923.patch > > > The whitespace plugin for test-patch only examines new files. So when a patch > comes in with trailing whitespace on new files it doesn't flag things as a > problem. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
