This sounds like it would remove all trailing whitespace in any file you touch; that sounds like a pretty bad idea for thinks like "blame" and will probably generate huge diffs for small changes -- or is this only about new code you're writing? I use vim and it displays trailing whitespaces as blue dots for me: set list set listchars=tab:>-,trail:.,extends:>,precedes:<,nbsp:% (the relevant config above is "trail:."; I find the other ones useful as well) The blue dots are not intrusive when I'm actually typing text or reading code with trailing whitespace, yet allow me to see the issue and fix it. > And then I don't have to think about anything.

These people could use "patch -l" to apply your patches, but then I think you shouldn't be stripping all trailing whitespace gratuitously. -- Loïc Minier _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
