My experience from the C++ formatting run is that those whitespace changes are 
really no big deal. Rebasing does not cause that many conflicts usually, and 
those can be manually fixed easily.

I can only second that: Having more comments would really help me understand 
in many case what's going on and what's the purpose of some particular code 
and the logic. 
Personally, I try to include lots of comments, so that whenever I'll look at 
the code again, I don't have to think it through in detail, bue have the 
comments tell me all about the code in human-understandable language.

In particular, if someone uses some clever code, or a nasty workaround, we 
really need some comments to understand what's goind on.

Cheers,
Reinhold
