Comment (by jdemeyer):

 Replying to [comment:15 SimonKing]:
 > It seems that in most cases the change is in how comments are formatted
 and whether tabs are used. This makes rebasing my patches a mess, and for
 no good reason (I mean, it isn't so much about codes but about
 formatting!).

 If it's only a matter of spacing, `git merge` has options for dealing with
 that:
 {{{
            ignore-space-change, ignore-all-space, ignore-space-at-eol
                Treats lines with the indicated type of whitespace change
 as unchanged for the sake of a three-way merge. Whitespace changes mixed
 with
                other changes to a line are not ignored. See also git-
 diff(1)-b, -w, and --ignore-space-at-eol.

                ·   If their version only introduces whitespace changes to
 a line, our version is used;

                ·   If our version introduces whitespace changes but their
 version includes a substantial change, their version is used;

                ·   Otherwise, the merge proceeds in the usual way.
 }}}
