Hi Santiago,

it could be two patches or one. You are only allowed to do one thing at 
a time. So it is also a little depending on your description. The way 
you describe this it is more like two patches.
If your description would be like:

Insert line break to comment, that exceeds 100 columns, to improve 
readability.

It would be OK to correct the indent as well.

If you send in a second version of this patch please use a change 
history. Description from Dan under:

In case of questions feel free to contact me directly.

Thanks for your support.

Bye Philipp
