I looked into do that, and it's a bit of a pain. Mike's patch is not quit= e=20 right, since it causes update-copyright to generate lines like this: - Copyright (C) 2002, 2004-2007, 2009-2017 Free Software Foundation, - Inc. instead of like this: + Copyright (C) 2002, 2004-2007, 2009-2017 Free Software Foundation, In= c. I guess because update-copyright mistakenly counts the continuation inden= t as=20 being part of the previous line when deciding whether to wrap. No doubt t= his=20 could be fixed, but there's a worse problem: the patch affects all files,= even=20 those shared with Gnulib where it's better to avoid spurious changes. I s= uppose=20 we could start maintaining a list of the dozens of files imported from Gn= ulib=20 and/or elsewhere (currently we do not have such a list) and having=20 update-copyright skip files in that list, but this sounds like quite a bi= t of=20 hassle merely to support a preferred style of indentation for copyright n= otices.
