+1 global reformatting. I am new to this but what I was thinking was to have a formatted style that is for the project and then one for my own coding taste. When I checkout/update, I would reformat it to my specifications/style. Once I am done with the fix, I would then reformat it to the project standards. Of course, if it is a tiny fix, I wouldn't worry about formating. But this way, when doing diffs you wouldn't see the format changes. However, until I am a actual committer, whoever checks in my change would do what the do (I guess).
