+When you use "git annotate" or "git blame" with gnulib, it's recommended that
+you use the "-w" option, in order to ignore massive whitespace changes that
+happened in 2009.
+
CVS checkouts are also supported:
$ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@pserver.git.sv.gnu.org:/gnulib.git co -d gnulib HEAD
projects' modules/ file.
+Indent with spaces, not TABs
+----------------------------
+We use space-only indentation in nearly all files. This includes all
+*.h, *.c, *.y files, except for the regex module. Makefile and ChangeLog
+files are excluded, since TAB characters are part of their format.
+
+In order to tell your editor to produce space-only indentation, you
+can use these instructions.
+
+ * For Emacs: Add these lines to your Emacs initialization file
+ ($HOME/.emacs or similar):
+
+ ;; In gnulib, indent with spaces everywhere (not TABs).
+ ;; Exceptions: Makefile and ChangeLog modes.
+ (add-hook 'find-file-hook '(lambda ()
+ (if (and buffer-file-name
+ (string-match "/gnulib\\>" (buffer-file-name))
+ (not (string-equal mode-name "Change Log"))
+ (not (string-equal mode-name "Makefile")))
+ (setq indent-tabs-mode nil))))
+
+ * For vi (vim): Add these lines to your $HOME/.vimrc file:
+
+ " Don't use tabs for indentation. Spaces are nicer to work with.
+ set expandtab
+
+ For Makefile and ChangeLog files, compensate this by adding this to
+ your $HOME/.vim/after/indent/make.vim and
+ $HOME/.vim/after/indent/changelog.vim files:
+
+ " Use tabs for indentation, regardless of the global setting.
+ set noexpandtab
+
+ * For Eclipse: In the "Window|Preferences" dialog (or "Eclipse|Preferences"
+ dialog on MacOS),
+ 1. Under "General|Editors|Text Editors", select the "Insert spaces for tabs"
+ checkbox.
+ 2. Under "C/C++|Code Style", select a code style profile that has the
+ "Indentation|Tab policy" combobox set to "Spaces only", such as the
+ "GNU [built-in]" policy.
+
+If you use the GNU indent program, pass it the option '--no-tabs'.
