It's been annoying me how long make commit takes, about 20 seconds on my computer. So I wrote a fix whitespace script that is much much faster, less than one second. When I ran it, it found a lot of whitespace to fix in the current Hg version, 100 lines in 34 files. The current fix whitespace script will delete spaces at the beginning of a line before a tab. It will delete 1, 2, 3, and 5-7 spaces before the tab, but not four spaces! For example, look at saa6752hs.c lines 72 to 76. They start with four spaces and then a tab. It seems like this is exactly the kind of thing the script should find. Is this intentional? Or is it a mistake in the fix whitespace script? If I submit a faster script, should I also submit a patch that does a big whitespace fix to get all the stuff the current script missed? Or should I modify my faster script to copy the way the current one fixes 1 to 8 spaces, but skips four spaces? _______________________________________________ linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
