I don't see what benefit they possibly offer. I don't know if there is a policy in the GNU coding guidelines or not, or whether Emacs has one, but some visual indication of where it is (not) being followed would be a good thing. The commit hook already checks for some whitespace issues (spaces before tabs for instance). Clearly adding something to this hook to enforce a whitespace policy now would not work given that Emacs is inconsistent in its use, unless it could be made to just check the diffed region perhaps, which might be a way of "fix things as we go". What the policy would be (if it does not exist), I care less about. Phil
