Sometimes, when a patch is that invasive, I'll do it in two parts - the change with wrong indentation, followed by another patch that is indentation-only. Much easier to review. Also, are you using the patience algorithm with git? (git config diff.algorithm patience) It makes indentation patches easier to review, by not trying to interleave lone } and blank lines that correspond to different code from pre- and post-patch. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
