That’s a neat feature, thanks for sharing.

Unfortunately I find that code bases lacking auto formatting are often littered with non functional changes as developers temporarily instrument code, remove it, but leave whitespace changes behind.

In terms of tracking code changes, one really would have to rewrite the entire history with each commit reformatted.
