The second line is actually: cond2)) <TAB--->SSSSSSSSSSSSScond2)) where 'S' means space. This is the only way to write code which display correctly with different tab sizes. With tab = 4 spaces it would be expanded to: if (cond && (cond1 || cond2)) ... I.e., it would be still fine. Most of the formating tools probably can't do it automatically. -- Krzysztof Halasa - 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
