For me, the key question is: If I update my sources every few days, how often do I have to resolve conflicts? It would be *really* great if whitespace changes always happened in the same places and at around the same times as content changes (in a separate commit, of course). In particular, I think things like trailing whitespace might as well be ignored, since they don't cause problems as misindented and overly long lines do. (Maybe your editing environment makes that difficult, and I can respect that.) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
