I could see the latter being something like "Apply coding standards", where somebody went in and fixed all the lines that went over the right margin or had wonky whitespace.

Of course, we can debate over and other whether mass-correcting existing files is actually helpful (one unofficial rule we have here is "only use the auto-formatter on code you've personally worked on or have taken over responsibility for", because it affects the blame history).

Also, I changed my name last year, and when I did that, I ran a mass find-and-replace to correct my credit in every Javadoc I'm credited on (I particularly detest my deadname, and I want it dead and buried), with the commit message being something like "Correct my credit to match my new name".
