Tooling has moved on, I'm really not sure this argument is particularly relevant for a git repository. If I want to track provenance I'd use git pickaxe or similar. > Likewise so does reorganising methods alphabetically. My OCD does not cover the order of the methods, this may be because I think most of the applicable standards covering this are just plain dumb. > If the code in a particular source file is really badly mangled then > it's worth standardising it internally, but IMO it's > counter-productive to reformat everything. I would not be writing this email if I thought it was just a minor few hiccups. I think it's possible to define a code style for io that causes a reasonable minimum changeset to the code. As previously mentioned I really dont care about code style - as I've grown older I even stopped rampaging against people that use tabs. So the way I'm reading this I would probably get away by reformatting the worst offenders, especially if I do not do too many files at once (evil grin :) Kristian --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
