Hum, I don't think GNAT sources are released will full revision histories. This can be a nice thing to do so, but I think the package will be around 70 megs ;-). More on the topic, style consistency is a good thing, but from my point of view the key point is keeping the documentation level high (quantity and quality ;-). The casing and code layout consistency is nice but not as essential as consistent documentation. -- Laurent Guerby , Team Ada. "Use the Source, Luke. The Source will be with you, always (GPL)."
