I personally dislike the indent-to-braces style because it causes
unnecessary churn in patches like this.  The reindenting improves
nothing at all.  On the contrary, when going through revision history
at some point in the future I have to waste brain time to verify
whether any function change has slipped in or not.  It doesn't just
waste my time right now, it will continue to waste time in the future.
It will waste time when people care about revision history because
they encounter a bug, want a fix quick and are pressed for time.

If you care about my ack, please remove random churn.  This is not a
competition about who gets the most lines in git blame.
