Oh, I think I can handle that. ;-) The occasional being-blamed-for-code-you-didn’t-break is less annoying than having to crawl through badly written, undocumented and buggy code every day.

Jean Pierre: That's what I usually do, too. Though I make a patch with content first, then sneak in the format changes when getting a positive review and committing that. Either way works. Only disadvantage of "sweeping" files sometimes is, when something breaks, people might `svn blame` you and then decide that you broke it, because you fixed the format on that specific line. That's unfortunate. Jeremy: Thanks, I didn’t know that!

In order to clean-up code and perform changes to the code base, we started to check in two revisions for the change: the first one if the code was heavily reformatted and the second one for the actual change. That makes it easier for everyone from the team to track changes through diffs and does help us to clean up a bunch of ugly formatted legacy code.
