Why me? :)

I think I read some time on LKML, that braces should be used on all multi-line 
paragraphs. So even one statement with a comment should have braces. That's 
what I would prefer. And braces on both parts of the "else" if one needs 
them. So something like is what I would vote for:

        if (a == b) {
                /* some comment */
                c = 1;
        } else {
                c = 2;
        }

But I still prefer using no braces on single line paragraph:

        if (a == b)
                c = 1;
        else
                c = 2;


Best regards,
Stefan
