I'm starting to come around to the position that /maybe/ a big bang trailing whitespace change (using the per directory compromise) would be the right thing to do (after the 2009-01-15 release!). I'm not sure yet. It's not important enough to have a big long discussion about, but one thought I had was that if we got rid of all the trailing whitespace, then we can enforce a simple and stupid policy of either not accepting patches with trailing whitespace, or if that's too much trouble, killing such whitespace in subsequent patches ASAP. In other words, maybe the big bang approach will reduce the amount of noise that I generate. -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9
