Instead of just relying on a filename of *.rb, use the file utility to
determine file type.
For systems that lack lack 'which' and 'file', fall back to filename
matching.
This is useful for retabbing things like 'msfconsole' that don't have a
.rb extension.
Local backups are generally not needed since you can just git checkout
old versions anyway before committing. It was nice to have during dev
but generally shouldn't be done now.
Usage: tools/dev/retab.rb directory
will retab with 2-width spaces rather than tabs for indentation.
This utility should be used by the @tabassassin account when it's
unleashed on the Metasploit code base in order to make git blame a
little easier to spot. (diffs should use -b or -w to avoid seeing
@tabassassin's changes)
