Why oh why? Please stop doing that, it's pointless, annoying and will
get lost with paragraph reformatting eventually and is not significant
in the generated output.
It follows the FDP standards as noted directly before Chapter 10.1 here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/fdp-primer/writing-style.html
While it's true that it is up to FDP standards, it also only affects the
formatting of the SGML file itself, and not the output. As I am nearly
completing translation of bsdinstall to Greek, I've found quite a few
more whitespace only changes and nits in the original text, including a
couple of spaces at end of lines and wrong indentation levels at a few
sections. While I'll make sure to fix these in the Greek text, I will
not be committing these to the original chapter.
Whitespace only changes should probably be avoided as they only add
bloat to the repository (I think this is Urlich's concern also) - and at
this point the chapter is relatively new and will go over more and more
changes that will render the whitespace fixes useless. I think it would
be best to let the chapter mature for a while - maybe a month or two -
and then fix all whitespace issues in a single commit (if deemed necessary).
