That desire is in conflict with a desire for the reviewer to see only the changes and many of the diff tools don’t diff this reformatted code against that reformatted code but rather work on the pre-reformatted.

It could obviously be done, but involves a yak shave that isn’t clear that it brings enough value to be worthwhile.

That's my main concern, I want to review the changes, not formatting opinions.

I do not get it.

If it is formatted to the formatting rules before every commit, how can there ever be formatting opinions?

What am I missing?
