And in reply to Benjamin's question about the whitespace, I guess it actually doesn't matter. More important to clean up in py3k. Would it be finally time to standardize all C files on a 4-spaces indentation rule?

I understand the "svn annotate" argument, but we edit code far more often than we annotate it. Also, it seems "svn ann -x -w" would ignore whitespace changes. Let's not forget to consider what Hg can do, since that represents the future.

I think Mercurial chokes in the light of white space inconsistencies just as much as Subversion. One reason for not converting in the past was also that it would break merging, unless that whitespace normalization is applied to all these branches.
