Hi Peet,

We had this discussion a number of times for different projects and
the general feeling was that it wouldn't be a big problem to do so,
but that also depends on the project's community. I'm copying some of
the main developers of those projects for their view on the matter.

I personally prefer not to format code that hasn't changed, as that
messes up with the version history (git blame and all), but people are
normally less paranoid than I am.

cheers,
