Maybe it would be a good idea not only to have coding standards, but also automatic handling of auto-formatting code when checking in. If you have a highly flexible coding style system like uncrustify for example, and check ins would be guaranteed to be automatically formatted, you could simply tell vim or emacs to format it with your coding style when opening, and then auto-format it for check in.. I know it's oversimplifying, but maybe it would help some people.
