How much overhead would it be to have a checkin hook which compares each modified file against the output of running reindent.py over the same file and rejects the checkin if it changes anything? (With of course an appropriate message suggesting the use of Reindent.py before reatttempting the checkin). That way the whitespace ought to stay normalized so you shouldn't need a separate cleanup step and you won't be breaking diff and blame for the sources (and if the reindent does ever break anything it should be more tracable). _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
