I think cvs-wrappers can do this kind of stuff. I'm not Brendan> sure what other implications there are. One of the problems with indent is that it's not perfect. I oftentimes have to tweak comments that have been mis-formated (usually when I have hand-formatted a table or diagram). I've also encountered problems with nested preprocessor conditionals where spurious white- space is introduced. Hopefully once everything is reformated there will not be much format drift. As long as those checking patches in either outright reject mal-formatted patches or take the time to re- format as appropriate, the tendency for drift should be checked. --jtc -- J.T.
