What? How would it? Do you understand what is meant by that? The problem being referred to here is that a change on one line causes changes to unrelated lines.

What? How would it? Do you understand what is meant by that?
The problem being referred to here is that a change on one line causes changes to unrelated lines. It makes it harder to pinpoint which line was changed intentionally in a diff and which ones were just caused by tab issues.
- junon 2y agoErr, yes, been coding for a while :D If you format before every commit, then the only changes you get are the changes you made.
- brian-armstrong 2y agoDoesn't help if you squash changes before merging, which is typical for large codebases
- junon 2y agoAgain, this makes absolutely no sense to me. I've never experienced any of the problems you're facing and I can't imagine how they'd even cause problems.
