I scripted an automatic whitespace cleanup, which resuled in a fat
patchbomb (about 18 MB, split into > 3600 files (because that way, some
patches are going to apply cleanly)). Obviously applying that would increase
the patch size for the next version by 100%, so that won't be the way to go.
(If you still want to look, see
http://7eggert.dyndns.org/l/patches/trailing-ws/)
Therefore I suggest that I will
- make a script that will take a patch, apply it and cleanup the patched
files as far as a simple script can do the job, so each patched file
will be ws-clean and the amount of patches will still stay low.
- a second script that will do some cleanup while the resulting patch is
less than an annoying amount of KB, so you can cleanup some files that
wouldn't get patched otherwise.
