I just got this traceback trying to do a rather large checkin: Transmitting file data ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................svn: Commit failed (details follow): svn: 'pre-commit' hook failed with error output: file /python/branches/p3yk-noslice/Lib/test/string_tests.py is not whitespace-normalized file /python/branches/p3yk-noslice/Doc/tools/buildindex.py is not whitespace-normalized file /python/branches/p3yk-noslice/Lib/test/test_array.py is not whitespace-normalized Traceback (most recent call last): File "/data/repos/projects/hooks/checkwhitespace.py", line 50, in ?
