Actually make fixstyle seems to address this situation (Thanks Dave) !

Objet : Re: [vpp-dev] Side effect of clang-format 'ColumnLimit: 100'

Hey,

My git-fu is not absolute, but it sounds like a possible approach. Ideally add 
a check style target which decides whether the patch is whitespace only and 
forces the update or even does it automatically.

I doubt there is an easy way to do major refactoring without it not being 
painful while doing it per partes. Maybe one huge reformat would be much less 
painful and burdening.

I share Matt’s POV on this and have a same hard time understanding the 
motivation for this change.

Regards,
Klement

Hi Klement,
Thanks for the suggestion. Would it make sense to add a .git-blame-ignore-revs 
file to the repo root for this purpose? It would allow git blame to 
automatically skip formatting-only commits when configured with 
blame.ignoreRevsFile.
The approach would be:
- Add .git-blame-ignore-revs to the repo (as part of 45485 or a separate patch)
- After each formatting commit is merged, add its final hash to the file

TBH, this is a bit painful...

Hi,

such patches should also be marked as ignored by git for history examination 
tools (like blame). Otherwise it's a huge PITA finding when and why stuff 
happened.

Thanks,
Klement
