Hi, I'm having a fight with git and indentation for my first ever patch attempt. I'm just adding an if statement around an existing 70-line code-block. It's a very simple few lines with --ignore-all-space. But the patch file is noisy because of 140 lines of +/- indentation diffs.
I then realised the standard was tabs, and after fixing my spaces, things got even worse. The 140 lines now interleave in many unreadable chunks. I've tried different diff-algorithms, but they make no difference. I'm tempted to submit my patch without indenting the if-block, and an explanation. Any better suggestions? While I'm asking, I added a regression test and ran make check-world with the TAP tests. Anything else I should do before sending it to hackers? Thanks, Bernice
