Re: [PATCH] git-svn init/clone --stdlayout option to default-init trunk/tags/branches

also sprach Eric Wong [off-list ref] [2007.07.14.1334 +0200]:

I have highlighting search set in my editor (vim :set hls)
and usually just search for spaces vs tabs to make sure I'm clean.

Try:

  :se lcs=tab:>-,trail,-

  augroup listinsert
    autocmd InsertEnter * set nolist
    autocmd InsertLeave * set list
  augroup end

Of course, maintaining a consistent whitespace style helps a *lot*
with the git/Linux patch exchange development style because it
avoids needless patch application conflicts that arise from
whitespace differences.

Using tabs also makes it impossible to X-cut-paste patches from
emails; you *have* to use git-am and/or a temporary file, which
i don't like at all.

But thanks for the explanation.
