Is this[1] what you're referring to? That sounds like grounds for summary execution to me. My group had me write a git commit hook that demands all source files pass a dry-run of astyle before you can commit. It'll let you view the difference and either cancel the commit and fix it yourself or just take the auto-formatted by astyle version and commit that.
