Hi Blake,
there was actually a reason: the dump files are easier to read if
the
function text between the two ∇ is indented (by one space). The
change
I made to achieve that did not, however, properly handle already
indented lines.
I have fixed this, similar to your previous suggestion, so that
all lines are
now indented by exactly one space. SVN 1197.
Best Regards,
Jürgen Sauermann

Greetings,
I have a few workspaces on github in DUMP format. I think
it is a good idea for me to keep the format up-to-date. While
performing said update I noticed, what seems to be, an
arbitrary change that causes nearly every line to change.
In the past, the dump file format placed a single space
before every function body line. That's fine. However, for
reason unknown, the DUMP format now puts two spaces before
every function body line. This seemingly arbitrary change
causes git to see every line as changed. Therefore, real
changes are hard to spot. (I know git has an ignore spaces
option. However, nevertheless, git sees and records each line
as having changed.)
I suppose it doesn't matter which way it is. It's just
best if it didn't change without a good reason.
Thanks!
Blake
