Re: [Orgmode] ido's flex matching in org-refile

[Carsten Dominik]

Hi Eric, this is very nice, but the changes also contain a whole  
mountain of changes where only the initial whitespace of lines is  
changed.  This makes it very har to see what really is the core of  
this patch and makes me hesitate to apply it.

Can this be avoided somehow?   Bernt?
