NAK, because I'm sick and tired of the pompous commit messages.  I'm fine
with adding those spaces.  However, I _do_ have a lot against the commit
messages like that.  "Required"?  By whom?  Holy checkpatch.pl?  "Coding
style issue" - completely uninformative; there all kinds of those.

FWIW, my prefernce would be something along the lines of "whitespace
tidy-up in <function or file name>".  At least that says what happens
in commit and where is it happening...
