Isn't it only a problem if you clean your working code differently from the remote?
Yeah, I get this too. Very often I'll have my editor set to do certain clean up upon opening a file. It's not a big deal if you don't save it, but if you need to make a local edit, it can add a bit of noise to the diff.
You should resist doing any local whitespace changes and we can make a tradition to maybe clean up the tree at every major release in a single sweep so the history is not tainted by tons of whitespace changes.
I think this is a great approach. That same policy could also be part of ongoing edits from that point. Perhaps it could even be part of the FreeSWITCH source code style guide (if there is one). We could also add the settings for emacs, vim and others to the wiki that match the official recommendations. Best, Gabe
