Hello all,

Have we considered using git's hooks for tidifying the code before checking it in, or even on the server, this would ensure that whoever does the checkin, it will be tidified.

Also, if we consider going with a global tidifying, a good timing could be when creating a new branch.

My 2 cents !

+1 for a gradual perl tidy too

Even then, still don't like the idea of blocking a patch for tabs and spaces ..

Chris,


Right, with the colossal commit option, one could have to

 1. Know the commit id of the change
 2. git blame something
 3. if that id comes up, then git checkout -b temporary
    <<the_id_of_the_change>>^
 4. git blame again

The more history we pile on top of that, the longer it'll take git to update the index, and then restore back to master when you're done. If you're tracing out lots of blames, then this can be a serious crimp in workflow.

    It's not so much statistics I care about, although I do. But also that
    it makes it hard to to do a git blame to find which commit actually
    changed the line. Since now every line is changed by the same commit.
