I don't think there is an official policy, but at the very least you should not introduce new trailing whitespace.
Certainly don't go to the other extreme: don't simply remove all trailing whitespace everywhere, because that does indeed lead to patch conflicts. My recommendation is: remove trailing whitespace in parts of the code that you're editing, i.e. where the changes would lead to patch conflicts anyway. -- -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
