Brian,

This thread has moved off of its topic, as usually happens these days.  The
original post from Ashok was a request for us to please refrain from making
commits which change actual code in a handful of lines and change
whitespace in hundreds of other lines.  This actually does happen, and it
is costly.  Choosing not to do that is by no means a fool's errand.
Choosing to do that is to not follow your advice "fix your code and move
on".

I am sure that Ashok was worried about the course this discussion
would follow, and I assume that is why he began with the preface "Without
getting into a tabs vs spaces war ...".

Maybe we can just agree not to make commits like that any more.
