I once collaborated on a small project where I used vim and my cohorts
used emacs (another religious war), and we had indentation nightmares,
especially with CVS. My "solution" was a 5am daily cron job that
automagically checked out a copy of the latest source tree,
auto-indented it, and committed it.
The result?
"The auto-indenter is about to start... Commit NOW!"
and...
"My code was hit by the auto-dementor."
Cheers,
Jason
