One significant exception is when moving code from one file to another -- in this case you should not modify the moved code at all in the same patch which moves it. This clearly delineates the act of moving the code and your changes. This greatly aids review of the actual differences and allows tools to better track the history of the code itself. > > > > Coding style changes might be acceptable only when the code is > > reworked or when it significantly improves readability. > > When code is moved around it is also a good opportunity. No! I would not have complained if it did not complicate my review. But it did! Best Regards, Petr
