Also note that your reason for changing this is the disk space consumed by the extra blanks. You're going to be combatting that by using up disk space for patches (at least as far as my systems are concerned, because I cvsup the CVS tree and not any specific release). ># Please leave such cleanup to ># when people are in the files cleaning up other style nits so we don't ># have 1 million commits, each taking care of just one point of style(9). > >OK, then I think it's best to tell developers@ about my script in >freefall:~schweikh/bin/ws-at-eol which by default will only print the >names of the files and optionally the line numbers/lines.
