It does allow hook scripts, but that is not much use here because it won't work well. Or is at least is advised against. Pre-commit hooks can only be used to prevent a transaction, they can not modify the transaction. A post-commit hook that removed the whitespace would then require a second commit. I've seen this advised against, although I guess that could come down to individual like or dislike. It would certainly leave the committer's file out of sync with the repository immediately after the commit. I personally would rather configure my editor than deal with that. <grin> Most cooperative projects I've looked at, require the programmer to conform to the style guidelines, if they have them, rather than changing code after it is committed. -- Mark Miesfeld ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA The must-attend event for mobile developers.
