Warning received. FWIW, I was working through the underlying codebase, and I’ve 
been focussing on unit tests and looking at how the code works for my book, 
some of this code made my eyes bleed but I understand this is controversial 
enough for a warning. 

In my defence, I’ve been attempting to fix up unit test code, but I acknowledge 
I’ve made a number of errors along the way. Some of them have been unforced, 
some of them I just didn’t notice the message on gerrit, and others I just 
didn’t realise it was controversial or even problematic. Not many folks look at 
the OSL codebase from what I could see, and there are some issues that I’ve 
noticed as I’ve read the code. 

In terms of whitespacing causing issues in git archaeology, I thought git had 
options to help with this sort of thing, so if that’s a major issue then is 
there something stopping us from using this? If it’s just a style issue, again 
in my (partial) defense there were things like a function that was completely 
unindented. Surely nobody is all that upset that I indented that?

Anyway, all that said - I acknowledge the issue and I’ll submit any changes to 
gerrit. I’ve tried to bunch up the changes in one go as was requested of me as 
well.
