Hi Andrew, 2008/8/19 Andrew Talbot <andrew.talbot(a)talbotville.com>:
Hi,
Is it possible to sneak in a bit of patch cleaning within the new software? It would be useful to incidentally remove any trailing white space that happens to exist within the scope of a patch.
Patchwatcher currently only looks at patches going to the mailing list and Alexandre still gets the patches from the mailing list. To do as you suggest would mean making Patchwatcher a filter before the mailing list and make it change the patches. I don't think this is a good idea because then what a developer sends isn't necessarily exactly the same as what everyone else receives. Besides, I think the git tools allow filtering of trailing whitespace for patches being applied and I think Alexandre does this. -- Rob Shearman
