Comment (by fenn-cs):

 Researched on code formatting approaches we can take for a large code base
 like Tahoe. Options include
 - Entire codebase reformat in giant commit (Mostly bad)
 - Module by module introduction
 - Progressive introduction (with a pre commit hook that enforces
 formatting rules on new files or change files)
