I prefer tabs, myself, but in regard to when to install whitespace changes, I came to the conclusion that it was useful to install them SEPARATELY. (Likewise, other changes that don't affect code, such as comment changes.) If they are in separate check-ins, it is easy to ignore those check-ins and look at the ones that make substantive changes. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
