Trickery and version control should never be used in the same sentence :)
The right way to "back out" the change is to not back it out at all, just
run everything through astyle again and commit a new rev.

Opening braces? Do you mean consistent use or where they're located? I like
K&R because it saves screen real estate and because I've been using it for
the last 17 years, but if you'd rather see opening braces on their own line
(Allman style), I can live with that. Whitesmith style (opening brace on new
line *and* indented to match the enclosed block) kinda drives me nuts though
and gnu style (indent the opening brace one level and then indent the
enclosed block another level) is almost as annoying :) In fact when it comes
to the GNU C style guide I think Torvalds had the right idea ... 

"First off, I'd suggest printing out a copy of the GNU coding standards, and
NOT read it. Burn them, it's a great symbolic gesture."
