Do a non-functional commit? > 2. And then do another commit to add the hash? Yes, although there's no need to list every non-functional change here. It's useful mainly for changes that would otherwise obscure the history/blame - for example, re-indenting libexec/rtld-elf/rtld.c to use standard indentation would be a good use. We could omit the comments, but I don't think it's worth the effort to try to automate this.
