It appears it might have been a whitespace change. Whitespace changes 
and other formatting changes should be separate from 
substantial/functional/real code changes. When people review history 
they new must parse out formatting changes from real changes. Two years 
from now someone trying to figure out what the change actually was will 
spend two or five times the time sifting through the diff. Future 
developers will consider this POLA. I've been in this situation many 
times, not just here at FreeBSD but elsewhere too. It's a PITA.
