Hi devs,

a small tip: When committing to Launchpad, please avoid reformatting entire
javascript and Java source files, e.g. because you use another IDE or
formatter.

The reasons for this are:

1. It is very hard to read the commit diff and see what is going on.

2. It becomes impossible to back-port fixes to later versions - when one
makes additional fixes after such commits, then backports to earlier
versions will fail and give conflicts since the files are out of sync.

So before committing, run status/diff and make sure you only commit the
intended mods to the file.
