But the annoyance factor for patches that reformat an entire source file 
is very high. It forces everyone who has conflicting patches pending to 
wait until the reformatting patch went in, rebase their tree and also to 
resolve the complicated merge conflicts that are the result of the 
reformatting patch. I have already had to do this several times in the past.

Thanks,

Bart.
