[Bf-committers] Default autosmooth angle

[Greg Zaal]

"autosmooth at 180 allows you to manually control the
sharp edges..."

So should we call it "manualsmooth"? ;)

In all seriousness, I'm fine with 180. It's just a default value, you can
change it yourself if you like, and the exact values you use are usually
not the same meaning you'd have to change it whatever it is.

That said, I wouldn't mind if it were changed to something more common
either, so that new users experimenting with buttons can immediately see
what it does when they turn it on.
