I was wondering what was going on here. <br><br>I had to remove some white space in the one test file so that it matched. <br><br>Have you ever used "beyond compare"? We use it on windows and it does a fabulous job. It shows you side by side the changes and color codes the chars in a line that changed. You can have it ignore whitespace etc. It will do files, and directories of files.
<br><br>It is just a wonderful comparison and merge tool.<br><br>Not that this is what we need to do here, just mentioning it to you since it saves me tons of time diffing and merging in my java projects for work.<br><br>
So on every file I touch, you are seeing white space changes on the whole file? I'm sure I can turn this off in emacs now that I know it is happening. Let me check into it. <br><br>Jeff<br><br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

ok, tired of getting tripped by this...<br><br>The editors I use aren't fussy about trailing white space on lines - esp. in<br>comments, there are often 1 or 2 trailing blanks on lines in files I've<br>worked on. Conversely whatever you're using aggressively strips line-ending
<br>white space on any file you touch.<br><br>This totally destroys ability to do reasonable change compares between<br>versions, which I rely on utterly. I can't identify relevant changes when<br>90% of the compare delta is blank-stripping. This is bad.
<br><br>We need some approach so we both commit with consistent formatting. Some<br>combo of text editor settings or a formatter we both like, dunno what's<br>going to be best, but let's see if we can find solution. thx
