That's what we've been doing wrt braces and I appreciate us not
cluttering the history with reformatting commits.

Especially at a time where I'm touching every target (and seeing quite
some variations on coding style) I'm not so happy about this initiative.

I use repo.or.cz's blame function quite often to find out who to cc or
what commit to mention, and (valid) typo fixes are already troublesome,
requiring to go to the parent commit and to navigate to the same file in
its tree. One cannot specify any custom ignore options there.

Is there a better tool to do such interactive, recursive git-blame?
