No, not 100%, only 85% sure.

It pertains to line endings.

Maybe you lucked out because you are working on linux and no '\r' were introduced.  Had
you been on Windows, then last guy wins.  (Unless the rules file is in play, then the repo
is '\n' but platform dependent in the working copy.)

What I used to detect the problem before was bzr st or bzr diff, immediately after a
branch or checkout.  It would show essentially every line of every file.

85% is a high degree of certainty however.

Or defer that work.  So we can get past the more disruptive aspect sooner.  Then go back
and make a sweep not pertaining to fp-lib-table.
