I've tried "unexpand | expand" to Documentation/*.txt and compared the formatted documentation before and after the change, and as we suspected everything seems to match. So I am considering applying this patch. We may want to tighten it later but as the initial set of rules this should do. -- >8 -- [PATCH] Add gitattributes file making whitespace checking pickier This establishes what the "bad" whitespaces are for this project. The rules are: - For C source files, trailing whitespaces, an HT that follows a SP in the leading indent, and initial indent by SP that can be replaced with HT are all bad. - The same rule applies to the AsciiDoc input files in the Documentation/ hierarchy. - It is Ok to indent with all spaces the Python and Elisp sources in the contrib/ area.
