And what is the advantage? Make 80 characters-per-line rule happy? > I just do not think this is worth changes at all. > For 80 column limitation: - I often use vsp (vertical split window) in vim to reading code in the 2 files, 80 columns limitation can avoid the line wrap, which will let code reading better. - Sometimes we need copy/past the code to a pdf files (e.g. print the interface header file contents to a new document as appendix), or print the code to a physical paper (e.g. write a book). For worth or worthless: The shared header files (e.g. in our case), have more chances to be read or printed than the normal source code files. So for me, we need take more care about the coding styles of them. For git-blame: - It really a good feature! Originally, I did not know about it :-). - Can it instead of sending trivial patch?
