I pushed it into a new branch (style-nov-8th) https://github.com/jtulak/xfsdump/tree/style-nov-8th (git clone --single-branch -b style-nov-8th https://github.com/jtulak/xfsdump.git) It is now in 16 patches, split usually one change at a time. Three of them are over 500k in size, so I will need to cut them somehow into more parts before sending them into the mailing list. But I ended up with a small script set that does it all, including the creation of commits, so I don't have to deal with conflicts if I will need to change anything. Btw, I wonder if these formatting scripts could be useful if I push them somewhere publicly... About 2/3 are sed replacements, the last third are gradually stricter configurations for Uncrustify (http://uncrustify.sourceforge.net/, available in distro repos). Thanks, Jan -- Jan Tulak
