You get exactly none, unless somebody really edited something. But if he edited it, it was changed anyway, most likely more than just whitespace. Bruce, you're only proving that you've never used emacs. :-) This is really something *very* different than running indent(1) over an entire file: it will absolutely only affect that piece of code the developer was just changing/adding right away, and nothing else (unless he stupidly changed an entire file by forcing reindentation, but that's similar to stupidly running the file through indent(1) first -- it requires intention, and won't happen incidentally). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
