[Insight-developers] Why does the KWStyle hook not let me commit, and why can't I turn the **&@#$ing thing off?

[kent williams]

I'm trying to do a local commit of some changes in order to send them to
Gerrit as a topic.

Before I get very far along with that, I want to commit the changes locally.
I had some lines with trailing spaces to fix, which is perfectly fine by me.
I corrected the trailing whitespace, but the KWStyle hook is still
complaining about trailing white space.

This is killing me -- even if I fix the files it objects to, I still get the
same pre-commit hook failure! Furthermore, in Emacs I can see the trailing
white spaces it's finding and they no longer exist in the files I'm trying
to commit!

And it's complaining about trailing white space even though I've set the
KWStyle hook to false!

What am I doing wrong?
