What steps would I use in SmartSVN on Mac to do this? I believe I'd have t= o get the rev50 copied somewhere, run the formatting tool on it, and run diff myself. When we did serious reformatting during the port from AS2 to AS3, it was a real pain when we needed to diff across the reformatting rev. That said, I'm willing to live with it if everyone else really wants to hav= e a full reformatting pass. I just don't want the desire for consistency to impede our ability to make progress in the actual code. I've never been a fan of highly detailed coding conventions. For example, = I could care less if you use tab or space. Any modern editor can configure its tab width. I do care that a tab is four spaces though and want you to set your editor up that way. --=20 Alex Harui Flex SDK Team Adobe Systems, Inc. http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui
