Yes I understand that this is a matter of taste but as I've said above.
I do not see this would add a benefit to justify the change.

If you are doing a reformating or white space cleanups always try to
think about those who want/need to dig into the history to understand
the code and this would add an additional step to get to the original
commit which is added the code. This is just wasting of time.

Now this would be much more tolerable when the code in question was a
maze but this is not the case.
