Most of the projects I work on don't use tabs, and while authoring my
first patch I had to wrestle with my editor to not introduce
whitespace editors.
The `.editorconfig` file is supported by a large number of editors
out of the box, and many more with plugins.
As a first-time contributor, I can't say for certain these settings
are totally correct, but thus far git and my editor are satisfied
enough.
I considered adding `git config --local format.signOff true` but
wanted to respect the warning:
format.signOff
A boolean value which lets you enable the -s/--signoff
option of format-patch by default. Note: Adding the
Signed-off-by: line to a patch should be a conscious act and
means that you certify you have the rights to submit this
work under the same open source license. Please see the
SubmittingPatches document for further discussion.
