Imagine that someone was doing major work on a certain component. When they do a 'cvs update' then they would get massive cvs conflicts.
...how about formatting code once a code freeze is in place for a release.

I like the idea but there's a *slight* risk that reformatting might introduce bugs. I suggest either:
a) reformatting when the code freeze starts but *before* everybody starts frantically testing stuff before the release (we all do this don't we?)
or
b) reformatting right *after* the release to give us time to find potential reformatting bugs.
