I hate tabs, but it is a minor hassle to configure your editor to display them the way you want. Very minor compared to breaking the history. Note that there is a huge difference between a "no (new) tabs" policy versus "repairing" the existing ones: only the latter breaks history. >> The price to pay for any reformatting is added noise in git log and >> breakage of git blame, merge, apply,... to be weighed against the >> better readability and consistency. > And seriously, how often do you need to use git blame on livecd-tools? "blame" is the most obvious example but most advanced Version Control features are broken just the same. Like for instance moving patches around, conveniently reviewing the difference between two tags, etc. In my experience no one committing such a massive amount of whitespace has ever performed real maintenance work. Otherwise they know better. -- livecd mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/livecd
