    Hi Stefan,
    
    Thanks for the feedback.
    
    As you’ll have gathered I’m a novice as far as Git and Github are 
concerned, though slightly less so than I was when I created this patch.
    
    I’ll take a look this weekend and try to produce something better that 
can be merged directly, and separate the patches for the different pull 
requests (UTC; Flush; …).
    
    I suspect the whitespace issues may be caused by different CRLF standards, 
though I’m surprised the diff utility doesn’t ignore such differences.  
IIRC Visual Studio popped up a dialog about inconsistent line endings and 
offered to fix it.   If you have any tips on how to handle this I’m all ears, 
otherwise I’m sure I’ll work it out for myself.
    
    The LogManager.Flush() method is implemented as:
    
                    
LoggerManager.GetRepository(Assembly.GetCallingAssembly()).Flush();
    
    How would you propose to implement this if the Flush method was moved out 
of ILoggerRepository?

    This PR seems to include #24<https://github.com/apache/log4net/pull/24> as 
well, could you provide a patch without it?
    
    Also, I'm not sure why Flush has been added to ILoggerRepository directly. 
It would be better if LoggerRepositorySkeleton implemented IFlushable IMHO.
    
    The whitespace changes are distracting, it is difficult to see the 
differences in lots of classes.
