I think that rather than having Piotr rework the whitespace fifty
times until everybody is satisfied, let's get a functional patch
series into the staging tree and then people can submit whitespace
cleanup patches to their hearts content.

That said, Piotr, I would not spend effort reworking the existing
patch per Julian's request.  Fix the issues related to the history
that I mentioned in my previous email (which would be required to get
it into staging), and then the people who have nothing better to do
than obsess about whitespace can submit incremental patches on top of
yours which address their concerns.
