[ofiwg] linux coding style question, or what is the libfabric interpretation of "resembles"

[Jeff Squyres (jsquyres)]

+1 for a libfabric-wide git pre-commit hook.

I use a pre-commit hook to look for excess whitespace and ensure that the Cisco copyright is up-to-date at the top of the file(s) that I commit; it's fantastic.  Rote automation like this are exactly what computers are for.
