It is OK (and indeed you're right that you cannot avoid it) to ship a reasonably new snapshot as a fallback in such a case, but it still is far more preferrable to avoid linking with the fallback snapshot copy when a working one is available on the system, especially for a widely used and established library like zlib, because we have one less thing to keep up-to-date with the security patches made to the upstream. In any case, if we cannot avoid shipping a borrowed code that we'd rather not touch or fix-up, covering them with local .gitattributes file, disabling selected whitespace checks, may be one way out. IIUC, our default settings for the whitespace check is in the top-level .gitattributes file * whitespace=!indent,trail,space *.[ch] whitespace=indent,trail,space diff=cpp *.sh whitespace=indent,trail,space eol=lf A new local .gitattrubutes file in retable/ directory to loosen the set of checks. The borrowed code triggers indent-with-non-tab and trailing-space at least, which needs to be disabled locally, I think.
