It does not make much sense, so I wouldn't request it of others, but I
also don't think the extra commit hurts so much I should not be allowed
to do it.
Also just that it doesn't make a difference to the patch I send does not
mean that it can not make a difference for
1) the diff on -cvslog
2) svn blame
3) e.g. git blame or whatever mercurial uses
and possibly other stuff.

Last part is esp. relevant since a switch to one of these seems on the
horizon.

Greetings,
