In the general case I agree with you. But in this specific case I don't. To me the whole point of this email thread is to nudge people towards indenting the changes that they are committing. Thus indenting those changes (either before or after adding) is the workflow that we want to make as easy as possible. Because even if it's not people their current workflow, by adding the flag it hopefully becomes their workflow, because it's so easy to use. So my point is we want to remove as few hurdles as possible for people to indent their changes (and setting up git aliases or pre-commit hooks are all hurdles).
