There are arguments in both directions. In my view, the ideal is:

1) declare a target date.
2) everyone clears the deck of patches.
3) Reformat

Grant's proposal, which goes

1) have a reason to modify some particular bit
2) check in patch
3) check in reformat before someone else starts a patch

is not bad, either.
