I've worked on a couple of projects that tried this, and we ultimately
gave up on it as being unsatisfactory.  The problem was that the
formatting changes would obscure the functional changes, and created a lot
of "noise" in the commit diffs.  You'd think this would go away after each
file has been checked out and updated at least once, but that never really
seems to happen (because the formatting rules often get tweaked).
