This is not very easy. It isn't enough either. Large sweeps for indentation, wrapping and whitespace may also invalidate the patches we have in our bugs database; which, frankly, sucks even more than seeing how Gnats tends to mutilate & do various ugly things with patch whitespace already. I prefer small whitespace/indentation commits as followup commits to content changes, or even as part of content rewrites/fixes. - Giorgos
