I work with several large codebases, many of which have large files which contain legacy code that does not adhere to the current coding standards.

I would like to be able to make sure that all the code I *change* is formatted properly, without necessarily re-formatting the whole file and creating artificially large diffs.

As it happens, what I consider to be "changed lines" are exactly what the "quick diff" feature thinks are changed lines (i.e. those lines which were updated vs. the base SVN revision), so if that same metadata could be used, it would be very helpful.
