I don't think that counts as a formatting issue. Yes, if your clients have hard rules about different coding styles at that level then it's not a technology problem (nor is it likely solvable with technology). I assumed we were talking about formatting issues like tabs-vs-spaces, in which case yes every single project could be different but auto-fixed.

thx. sorry, i sounded a bit snarky before and wasn't meaning to be. it's just easier for people to focus on visual issues vs operational/functionality. and switching between multiple projects/clients/standards illustrates to me how relatively unimportant some of these things are (but of course just imo).

I would encourage you should check out editorconfig more closely. The whole idea is that each project has a file that defines the simple formatting rules for various file types in the project/directory tree and your editor will automatically follow them on a per-project basis. It's surprisingly well supported across editors.
