I don't think there is a rule, but even simpler things like "remove
all trailing spaces" were not common in the past

It think the argument was that it makes history harder to follow. A
git blame lands you on the reformatting patch and you have to manually
skip them.

I don't personally consider that a strong argument and I think polly
did just that (run clang-format on everything), so it might be OK
these days.
