As of lately, this no longer happens: I get a big fat conflic for all the changes I submit! This is *very* annoying. Anyone knows how to fix this behaviour? Alexandre, are you doing anything different?
Maybe automatic white-space stripping at commit time ?
I was thinking of that, but I get a conflict on _every_ hunk... How can I avoid it, this is really, really bad. In particular, if I submit a large patch, and then I continue working on a different part of the file, I am in trouble...
Try running winapi_cleanup before generating the patch. Running it before doing "cvs update" might also help. winapi_cleanup strips trailing white-space from .c and .h files. Note that you have to install it first. cd tools/winapi make install Then you can run it in whatever directory you like and it converts the .c and .h files. You can also run it on specific files like: winapi_cleanup foo.c bar.c baz.h PS. It is "intelligent" and only actually modifies files that needs to be modified so the timestamp on the files that needn't be modified remains.
