My concern with this is that it makes it more difficult to talk about code outside of the blessed translation system. In my opinion, this opacity negates any benefits of working with a personal style. On the other hand, a commit hook to clean up formatting is something that I think would be very useful. A trivial peeve is trailing whitespace which puts a lot of pointless lines into the history (hg diff can be told to ignore whitespace changes, but the changes still show up in hg annotate). BTW, were you able to get uncrustify to leave two trailing spaces after #undef __FUNCT__ ? Jed
