X-Enigmail-Version: 0.95.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi all, Right now I have "cleanspace" and "cleanpatch" clean up spaces before tabs, but it does not compress runs of spaces that aren't followed by a tab. I could make it do that; I was being conservative when I wrote it and opted for it not to do so, but I wanted to hear if people think it should (and if so, what should a reasonable threshold be, in addition for obviously crossing a tab line? Two spaces? Three? Four? Eight?) -hpa
