Here is a somewhat related question: if one places a file .dir-locals.el in the top directory of the checkout with the contents: ;;; Directory Local Variables ;;; See Info node `(emacs) Directory Variables' for more information. ((c-mode (c-default-style . "linux") (indent-tabs-mode . t))) Then all edits in the whole checkout done with Emacs in C files use the right indentation style. Obviously, that's a "personal preference" setting in that it is useless for those who never use Emacs (the file can be written/edited using M-x add-dir-local-variable RET). It's still providing significant convenience for a number of users while touching only a single file. -- David Kastrup -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
