Yes, I know it can be. But. When I apply some patch or modify a method
I try to avoid reformatting code - I had disabled auto-format during
commit and so on. And. When I have applied auto-format it doesn't mean
that I solve the problem. Also git allows to perform small commits,
solve one thing, commit, solve another, commit, finally you can solve
the main problem, commit, etc. Before committing anything I'm trying
review my changes with diff - it helps to spot stupid mistakes or
leftovers.

This is very helpful habit when you work with other languages than
just pure Java - html, js, scala. Applying auto-formatting to these
languages can make more harm than you thought :]
