This patch changed plenty of of lines within that file. Was there a specific 
reason to do this in the same commit as the actual change? It's not so nice to 
read through lines and lines of whitespace changes, or comment spelling fixes, 
to finally find the actual changed code lines.

I would have strongly preferred to have one commit for the actual message 
change, and another one for all the other cosmetic changes. Git-gui makes this 
extremely easy by its "Stage context" function; I don't know whether other VC 
systems are helpful for this sort of operation, though.

At least, I would kindly ask that your commit message should mention something 
like "Additionally, some spelling fixes in comments and plenty of whitespace 
cleanup."

Just to clarify again: I'm not at all against cosmetic changes or whitespace 
cleanup - they are very helpful and we can have plenty of those. But I would 
like to have them in clearly marked commits, very separate from the actual 
functional changes.

Thanks!

Regards,

Christian
