For a long time I've had this in my ~/.gitconfig:
[core]
whitespace = space-before-tab,indent-with-non-tab,trailing-space
which causes git to show me if I muck up and use spaces instead of
tabs, or leave in trailing whitespace. I find this really useful.
I recently proposed adding something like this to the .gitattributes
files for the GDB sub-directories (gdb, gdbsupport, and gdbserver)[1],
however, the question was asked - couldn't this be done at the top
level?
So, in this commit, I propose to update the top-level .gitattributes
file, after this commit, any git diff on a C, C++, Expect, or TCL
source file, will highlight the following whitespace errors:
(a) Use a space before a tab at the start of a line,
(b) Use of spaces where a tab could be used at the start of a line,
and
(c) Any trailing whitespace.
Errors are only highlighted in the diff on new or modified lines, so
you don't get spammed for errors on context lines that you haven't
modified.
The only downside I see to adding this at the top level is if there
are any sub-directories that don't follow the tabs/spaces indentation
rules very well already, in those directories you'll end up hitting
issues any time you edit a line. For GDB we're usually pretty good,
so having this highlighting isn't an issue.

## Set merge driver for ChangeLog files
|
|
# See gnulib's lib/git-merge-changelog.c (or git-merge-changelog(1))
|
|
# for per-user setup instructions.
|
|
#
|
|
# The short version of this (optional) procedure is:
|
|
#
|
|
# (1) Install git-merge-changelog (this is the tricky part!)
|
|
#
|
|
# (2) Add something like the following to your ~/.gitconfig:
|
|
#
|
|
# [merge "merge-changelog"]
|
|
# name = GNU-style ChangeLog merge driver
|
|
# driver = git-merge-changelog %O %A %B
|
|
#
|
|
# (3) Enjoy mostly effortless ChangeLog merges, at least until the
|
|
# file gets renamed again ...
