+Commits with No Functional Change
+---------------------------------
+
+It may be permissible to commit changes without prior review when the changes
+have no semantic impact on the code if the changes being made are obvious and
+not invasive. For instance, removing trailing whitespace from a line, fixing a
+line ending to be consistent with the rest of the file, fixing a typo, code
----------------
I think this is a much broader statement than is warranted to address the 
specific problem. And I'm not completely comfortable with it.

I don't think guidance around "no functional change" is the right way to give 
guidance about what is or isn't "obvious" and fine to commit with post-commit 
review personally.

I'd really suggest just being direct about *formatting* and whitespace changes, 
and specifically suggest that they not be made unless the file or code region 
in question is an area that the author is planning subsequent changes to.
