  "it's preferable to preserve blame than go through a layer of cleanup

git blame identifies what commit last altered a line. If a cleanup patch
is encountered then the tree before that commit needs to be examined
which adds time. It's rare that cleanup patches on their own are useful
and this is one of those cases.

git is a tool mainly for analyzing code, but not mainly for normal
reading main code.

So for me, the coding styles need not consider about git.


Thanks.
