I'm looking at working on a new area of wine (for me) and the file I'm going to be working with is rife with whitespace issues. Literal tabs are sprinkled around and the 80-col limit has been broken badly and often in easily fixable ways. I'm wondering what the acceptable approach is to these issues. I'd like to fix these issues before I start submitting functional patches. My question is this: Is it acceptable to fix the whole file in one patch (80-cols), or should I just fix the one function I'm planning on touching? Or should I grit my teeth and ignore the style issues entirely? Thanks, ~Nate
