Any objections (besides well-known issue with scre= en=20 > and programlisting contents where should be no tabs)? My position is the same as I have said before, I think whitespace changes for the sake of whitespaces changes is a bad idea, since the added pain is greater than the gain. Also, if whitespace changes are to be done in sweep the chapters should be completely fixed including indentation, line breaks etc. since the pain will be the same. Pain in this case is all the uncommitted changes which will be nuked and cvs annotate which will be more difficult to use. If changes are done just before or after a related content change I think it's fine to do whitespace changes, since broken formatting can get in the way of real work and since the content change will probably have invalidated people's changes anyway. Oh, and for the record - broken indentation, EOL whitespace etc. is something which I find annoying, but the pain of doing sweeps like this are just too great IHMO.
