You mess up the output of e.g. git blame without ever changing the 
functionality of the code.

Yes, but it needs to be done initially, or when the code is touched, not for 
it's own sake.

If they want to read the code the way you think it should be read.

Agreed.

I think there's no argument about the less than optimal formatting of the code 
you're talking about. Nevertheless, we're just telling you that it's very 
unlikely that this patch will be rejected.

Alexandre doesn't like patches like that, you'll have to fork or deal with it. 
People on this list decided to deal with it, so don't be surprised if that's 
the answer you get again and again.

Cheers,
Kai
