Yes, that's true, but ... Unless we save our own version, as Duncan proposed, we will always have the problem that changes in the tool will also introduce formatting changes in our sources. Of course we could help by filing bug reports (and we should probably do), but that doesn't solve the general problem of formatting changes by the (next version of the) tool. We must be careful and select a stable tool ... or only do a one-shot formatting, as I said before, and live with the result with manual cleanup... BTW: we've seen this in doxygen, where the newer version creates different file names for the "same" documentation. This introduces lots of diffs when updating the web site with the generated docs. This wouldn't be a big problem, if this wasn't svn-based, but you get the idea (I hope).
