I'm not going to battle on this, but I would invite you to consider
the comparison to CXF. It's very large, and we've never had anyone
drive off in a huffman code because they hated the standardized
format. It's not 'heavenly', it's the fact that you always know what
you are looking at because the code base is uniform.
BTW: the comments about heavenly were not directed at the CXF approach,
but described experiences i had with programmers entering a team, and
the first they did was 'doing the rest a favor' by reformatting the
complete codebase.
I was also remembering the endless arguments, of which format was a tiny
bit better than the other. My approach is, focus, if it is not relevant
to solving the bug, stay away from it.
If you need to reformat in order to be able to fix the bug, do it.
The only technical barrier whe have is the line oriented nature of
generating deltas or diffs in the svn.
