What I try really hard to remove from committed patches is spurious
whitespace changes to pre-existing code. Whether new code blocks
exactly match pgindent's rules is less of a concern, but changing
code you don't have to in a way that pgindent will undo later anyway
is just useless creation of potential conflicts.

The whole thing would be a lot easier if someone would put together an
easily-installable version of pgindent. Bruce has posted the patches he
uses but I don't know what version of indent they're against...
