A lot of checkins to Phobos wind up with a lot of invisible changes, because:

1. random addition and subtraction of tabs
2. random appearance and disappearance of trailing whitespace

I'd like to put an end to this, with the following rules:

1. no tabs are allowed
2. no trailing whitespace is allowed

I use this program to do filter my checkins which takes care of it, feel free to use it or some equivalent.
--------------------------------------------------------
/* Replace tabs with spaces, and remove trailing whitespace from lines.

import std.file;
import std.path;

int main(string[] args)
{
   foreach (f; args[1 .. $])
   {
       auto input = cast(char[]) std.file.read(f);
       auto output = filter(input);
       if (output != input)
           std.file.write(f, output);
   }
   return 0;
}


char[] filter(char[] input)
{
   char[] output;
   size_t j;

   int column;
   for (size_t i = 0; i < input.length; i++)
   {
       auto c = input[i];

       switch (c)
       {
           case '\t':
               while ((column & 7) != 7)
               {   output ~= ' ';
                   j++;
                   column++;
               }
               c = ' ';
               column++;
               break;

           case '\r':
           case '\n':
               while (j && output[j - 1] == ' ')
                   j--;
               output = output[0 .. j];
               column = 0;
               break;

           default:
               column++;
               break;
       }
       output ~= c;
       j++;
   }
   while (j && output[j - 1] == ' ')
       j--;
   return output[0 .. j];
}
