theora dev - Dec 2007 - svn access and formal things.

A couple of questions:

* Do I need a named account to commit changes? How do I get such an account?

I'm used to commit roughly once every 8 hours of work if I have a stable 
point that compiles on linux and win32. That's just my way of working. 
Worked well in the past to protect myself from doing stupid things.


* How anal are you about line endings, tabs vs. spaces, max. line length 
ect.?

The code-base is nice and consistent. I try to follow the style as much 
as possible but I'm sure one or another misplaced bracket will sneak 
into the code. The code I usually write is formated completely 
different, so it's not easy for me. :-)

You need a named account if you want to do on-going commits. Otherwise 
you can email patches to the list and someone else will commit them.

You get an account by emailing me (privately) a preferred username and 
htpasswd2-crypted secret.

BTW, are you working on the encoder, decoder or both? If the encoder 
note that there's a rewrite going on which affects the encoder's asm
routines. You might want to pay attention to it in your work.

This will be merged back into trunk once it's obviously working better.

Well, the encoder and decoder have different styles. We're not real 
sticklers, but trying to match local style is always appreciated. SVN
will take care of line endings for you.
