Greetings,
I have been following along with the thread and would just like to say a
few paragraphs.
Can't the contributors themselves run pgindent on the files which they
have changed _just_ before creating the patch which is to be contributed?
Thus, patching a "pure" pgindented file from cvs with another
"pure" file created loacally will allow for the contributor to work with
their own ideosyncratic indentation style, yet at the same time keep the
pgindentification of the cvs tree "pure".
Otherwise the alternative is to insist that people code according to the
project's standards, which is really just another application of the
slogans; "When in Rome do as Rome does." and "There is no "I" in "TEAM."
If there is one thing the Mozilla project has done well, it is the
creation of all the tools to make cooperative coding simpler. As the
PostgreSQL grows in complexity and following you might find that these
tools are helpful.
