I tried that on the repository at work once but found it troublesome.
Don't quite remember what the problem was, but remembers vaguely that it
wasn't straightforward for cvswrapper to (read/write)access the actual
file that's committed.
Another thing is that it's just a little scary to have something which
possibly destroys what you commit to cvs - I would prefer that what I
commit to cvs goes there unaltered (on the other hand it would be A Good
Thing to have some codeformatter to blame my bugs on :)
I guess we have to use codeformatters (eg astyle) before we check in our
code.
I happend to grab a copy of jIndent while it still was free. jIndent does
more than just codeformatting, it parses the code and is able to change a
lot of things (eg bracket style, set a max linelength, etc).
I could reformat the whole repository with jIndent, then we could continue
with using astyle or some other free codeformatter as we go.
Just pick a day. It would be best if everybody have checked in their
changes before reformatting the whole source (and I guess I should tag
the repository before reformatting).
