ok so we all know this: you're patching magento and then we check our git changeset only to find a gazillion files with nonsense changes like this:

why is this a problem? 

i have to check which actual changes occured in code and templates so I can see what I have to adapt for my theme and plugins/modules, so i have to go through a ton of files one by one to see if its an actual change or not...

 

any chance the magento team can stop with this nonsense? I regularly use mass-replace to revert this so I have a chance of real changesets...

 

who else is fed up by this?

Hi @ludwiggramberg, we're aware of and have heard frustration and pain over this from others in the community. To address this, we've done a couple of things:

 

  1. This year we released a copyright release where the only changes made were the copyright: http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.1/release-notes/ReleaseNotes2.1.5CE.html
  2. Starting with 2.2, the copyright year is removed from file headers: https://github.com/magento/magento2/pull/8648

Hi Sherrie,

 

unfortunately removing the year isnt enough, remember how you guys changed ownership a few years back (ebay), so the company name changed, so again all files changed.

 

why can't you do what everyone else is doing? have one file with a license and be done with it. why does every file require any copyright-comment at all? what are you afraid of?
