We use tabs mostly, optionally followed by spaces if a line of code doesn't exactly start at a tabulation. Although it's perfectly fine to tabify a line of code that you're modifying, I would personally prefer that you don't touch lines just for the sake of tabifying. Others might disagree (hence the "personally"), but these little changes don't bring anything in terms of readability, mess up the indentation when reading diffs, and also potentially create merge conflicts for changes that are essentially no-ops. > Where is that "gdb GNATS bug reporting database"?

I don't know much about that one, and who might have created an account for you. For GDB, we've transitioned to buzilla, as you have found. We used to use gnats, but no more. -- Joel
