What do you mean by "can not really"? I do some modification of
committed files with a script called from commitinfo. I don't do
anything too severe - clean up trailing white space, add headers in some
instances, make sure files created by broken editors have a new line
before EOF, and one or two other small things. I guess that qualifies
as mild beautification? Anyway, I haven't noticed any problems with
this approach in the 6 months or so I've had it turned on. Any problems
I should be looking for?
