Indentation is indeed important, but if the indenting is changed, the
code must also change as well. Right now it's almost impossible to
look at a 300-line diff and say simply 'Oh, he put the whole thing
inside an "if" statement'.
I would argue that the email (which is for informitive purposes
anyway) would be far more useful if we just say the "if" line a
perhaps 5 lines of context.

If I do determine I can enable that option then I will need to know
what repository you want to use it on - as Grant points out it
will only be useful for repositories where python (or patch files)
are not the norm.

Hmmm, but leading whitespace has meaning in Python, no? I'm not
sure that would be such a good idea for most of the diffs we
generate.
(It's definitely not a good idea for patches, of course).
