* From: Nik Clayton <nik@freebsd.org> * About the only exception to this is if the changes can be carried out * completely mechanically, and the mechanism to do so is clearly described * in the commit message (or supporting e-mail / README file, or equivalent). The problem is that you can't separate the real change with formatting change with diff. Whether the formatting part can be done mechanically or not has nothing to do with this (unless there's a way to mechanically convert back to the original formatting/content change applied state). * We're not perfect, and I've made a few mistakes in doing this myself, * particularly in the early stages of the Handbook's DocBook migration. But * I try and keep a whether eye out on the doc/en* commits, and do let people * know if they've unwittingly made life harder for the translation teams. Amen.
