Hi,
it got a bit lost in other things, but I think I would want to run fixcc.py right now, reformatting the C++ stuff (it doesn't help with the conventions for template arguments but there are comparatively few of those). It's been run on stable already; so running on master makes future cherry-picking less painful. Ok? People having patches in the C++ area will need to rebase. I could imagine doing that with git rebase -i, halting at every step, running fixscm, committing, reverting that commit (except for the last) and continuing. Afterwards you have a sequence of Revert _my_ fixscm commit commit fixscm revert fixscm commit fixscm revert fixscm commit fixscm and you do another git rebase -i and squash each sequence of "revert fixscm, commit, fixscm" into a single commit. That should be a conflict-free way of doing this. But only as long as my fixscm commit actually reverts usefully on master. But maybe not that many patches are in the queue right now. Ok for me to go ahead, say tomorrow? -- David Kastrup
