It seemed like a good idea at the time because the original layout is a bit of hassle to deal with every time I import something from upstream, and the layout "rules" that were in use were not consistent between blocks.
Can you be a bit more specific about how the original / current layout is a hassle? We can probably find a happy medium. Th e obvious thing that comes to mind is for the imported-from-upstream lists to be formatted as is convenient for you, and the monotone's-own-source lists as is convenient for me, but there might be something better. Something I forgot to mention was that the main reason all this was a problem is that there were formatting changes and content changes both in the same changeset. If there had been a changeset that redid the format but made no changes to the content of the lists, I would have had a much easier time merging. However, I do think the not-very-many-files-per-line layout is superior for lists that we will change frequently (MOST_SOURCES and so on) and I really must insist on eighty columns (yes, including the backslashes). zw _______________________________________________ Monotone-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel
