I would have expected that you would not parse a comment line and would skip to the newline character when you read one.
Yes, we do that. This is not a question of how the tz code operates; it works fine. It's merely a question of the Git version-control system, which complains about trailing white space, because changes to trailing white space cause trivial but annoying differences. Again, it's just a small thing.
I assume that this complaining is configurable, so it should be a straightforward matter to disable it selectively for this file, or if that doesn’t work, to disable it entirely.
A .gitattributes file containing the following line would selectively ignore whitespace problems when applying patches to the leap-seconds.list file: leap-seconds.list -whitespace See the gitattributes(5) man page for details. -- -=( Ian Abbott @ MEV Ltd.
