The bloat occurs when a developer (accidentally) commits code that does not conform to the coding standards and then follows up that first commit with a style or whitespace commit. If there's a way we can help developers stick to our coding standard, we should use it. I suggest providing modelines for both vi(m) and emacs. There are a lot of other editors out there that will honor those two standards of modelines, as well. > Oh another solution is to work with all the editor writers to establish > a standard that is used by enough editors to make it worthwhile > including. That's a totally unreasonable suggestion, and everyone knows it. It doesn't even rate highly on the sarcasm scale. Please don't bloat my mailbox with such unnecessary comments. -- Jon Parise (jon@csh.rit.edu) . Information Technology (2001) http://www.csh.rit.edu/~jon/ : Computer Science House Member
