I just checked in a whitespace normalization change that was way too big. Should this task be automated?

Assuming the answer is yes, these are the questions should be answered: 1) Which branches should this occur on: trunk, 2.5 (last release), 3k 2) Should there be a special user for these checkins

Absolutely, since that will be very helpful when doing "svn praise".

3) How often should this be done

Weekly makes sense. Of course, we could also setup a svn pre-commit hook that rejects trailing whitespace >:->

4) Are there any other tasks that can be automated

My preferences are: 1) all active branches (ie, trunk and currently 2.5 and p3yk) 2) Yes, there should be a special user 3) Once per week 4) Not that I know of The way to fix the files is to run: python ./Tools/scripts/reindent.py -r Lib At least that's what I did. Hopefully I didn't screw anything up. :-)

I looked over it, and everything seems alright ;) Though I was impressed that we had some tab- and 2 space-indents lying around.
