Hi,

We are using Eclipse CVS component. Each person in the group has different code 
format preferences. When synchronizing with CVS repository, differences in code 
formats are counted as file differences. This is not desired. Since requiring 
all project group members to have the same format preferences in hard to 
achieve, I suggest CVS take responsibilityy. My idea is that each file comitted 
to CVS will have some code format decided by CVS, and each file synchronized 
with CVS will first be formatted by CVS to the same format and only then 
compared to the repository file. This way, only changes in 'real' code will be 
captured by CVS. The whole process of internally formatting files to a common 
format used by CVS will be transparent to the user.
