Without taking sides: the last grep is including else without either { or }.

[~/work/glusterfs]
sh$ git grep '} else {' | wc -l
    1331
[~/work/glusterfs]
sh$ git grep 'else {' | grep -v '}' | wc -l
     142

So going by just numbers, "} else {" is 10x more common than "}\n else {".
I also find that believable based on familiarity of seeing this pattern in
the code. Either way, good idea to stick to one and not allow both in
future code.

Thanks
