Actually, the case that started this thread is relevant: a forced
reindent would be *more* likely to have broken other patches than
not doing one. I don't really like removing human judgment from
the process.
It definitely would help if large sections of new code were properly
indented before they got committed (assuming there are not followup
patches already prepared). In the case of modifications to existing
code, the question is not nearly so black-and-white.
