The problem is that this messes up version control history. For example, I work on a code base which is 20 years old. It's nice to use 'svn blame' and to get the log message associated with a given line of code and give me insight into what I was thinking.
That said, it's not an insurmountable problem. Usually I'm looking at a particular line, and if history says it was touched in a compiler cleanup then I just have to click a few more times to get 'svn blame' of the version preceding the cleanup.

- humanrebar 11y agoYou should probably do this at inspection time, not commit time. Maybe a list of commits from the command line,or a commit ignore file.
