I don't think that it matters too much, but it will necessitate
updating the file multiple times. It might become natural to just do
everything together in a way that it wasn't before.

The really big wins come from excluding the enormous pgindent run
commits, especially for the few historic pgindent runs where the rules
changed -- there are no more than a handful of those. They tend to
generate an enormous amount of churn that touches almost everything.
So it probably isn't necessary to worry about smaller things.
