There is a lot of horrible indentation in the source which makes it very
hard to read, so it is often worthwhile to fix it.
If you check in the re-indented version separately from checking in the
substantive edits, then presumably it's easy to see the substantive
differences in CVS, no?
Also, there is surely some sort of diff out there which will compare the
*token sequences* of two files, treating all whitespace (including
newlines) the same, isn't there?
