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.
