Too confusing ;) I have my hls color set to be a red underscore (which nothing else in my syntax higlighting uses), so it's less intrusive for me. > > Of course, maintaining a consistent whitespace style helps a *lot* > > with the git/Linux patch exchange development style because it > > avoids needless patch application conflicts that arise from > > whitespace differences. > > Using tabs also makes it impossible to X-cut-paste patches from > emails; you *have* to use git-am and/or a temporary file, which > i don't like at all. Ah. I that's one of the reasons I rarely use X-cut-paste for multi-line strings. When I apply patches with or without git-am from email, I just start mutt inside the working source directory I'm in, and from the mutt index I spawn vim to edit any email (just hit 'e'), go into visual mode, select the part I want to apply and pipe that to whatever patch application program I want to use, and :q! out of vim. -- Eric Wong - 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
