Heh, There's labels that have comments? > My worry is that you recommending it to contributors on a individual > and opportunity basis, doesn't scale.

Works for me, and last time this came up Linus agreed with the "whitespace before labels is stupid" thing. Although I cannot find a link to that just now. > It would still be a problem for me as an inveterate quilt user, Add the below to your .quiltrc or environment: QUILT_DIFF_OPTS="-F ^[[:alpha:]\$_].*[^:]\$" Same caveat about labels with comments, but then I'd not take a patch doing that in the first place.
