Because this is being done *in lieu of* merging the triggers branch, with the result that the triggers branch becomes harder to merge afterwards. I agree with Ian that this is a bad thing. I can't fathom why Guillem is making changes like this while the triggers merge is outstanding, and I agree with Ian that it should stop. But I note that Ian didn't cc: Guillem himself on his message, and I don't have time for a more thorough reply at just this moment. I'll try to catch up with Ian's original message later this evening. > As it's in a vcs, I don't see why they need to stop doing that as these > commits on code reformatting can easily be reverted, no?
