But I still think that what happened with keyboard.c is bad: turning every whitespace-only line into an empty line. This is bad because hitting TAB somewhere or calling indent-region on a piece of code will re-introduce those spaces, so we end up with never ending spurious conflicts. Please be careful when you commit changes. Those of us who have extensive locally modified files (i.e. uncomitted changes) will be grateful for it. Stefan PS: I'm talking about the following change in keyboard.c: revision 1.722 date: 2003/01/31 15:23:57; author: lektu; state: Exp; lines: +133 -133 Cygwin support patch. ----------------------------
