Last I saw Antoine had written a script that might do what we want, but hadn't been thoroughly tested. Now I've seen a few checkins for files that have been run through the script.
As far as I'm concerned, it was a case of eating my own dog food: running the script over a couple of files I'm interested in (_ssl.c, _fileio.c). I believe Victor processed posixmodule.c for the same reasons.
What gives? And why do this so close to 2.7? I don't think it will cause any problems, but it's hard to review commits to ensure they have no changes when there's a rush of large commits near a release.
Well, however soon or late we do this, good luck reviewing multi-thousand line commits to check no mistake sneaked in :) By construction, these commits only adjust whitespace in some C files, which means the risk of breakage is very close to zero. (I guess you could do a "svn diff -x -w" between each two revisions to expose any potential non-whitespace changes) Really Antoine.
