Ah, yeah - I agree with that last bit about formatting changes - even if I have probably unintentionally violated that in the past.

However, if you have changed users > 1 to users >= 1 and there is some sort of intrisic logic to it, surely a. you put that reasoning into the commit message, and b. you add a comment into the code briefly explaining the significance?

I don't know about you, but I'd prefer to know about why this is significant within the code, rather than have to dig through the blame logs of a version control system!
