At the risk of sparking off that bikeshedding war, is there an option in
git that allows us to format everything according to a standard rule as
it is committed? And then if individuals don't like that style, to
reformat it to the individual's style on checkout?

I seem to remember at least one git based project (possibly git itself,
or lilypond) that does exactly that.

I know - layout can be a very personal thing ... :-)
