I think automatic reformatting is the only way - unless a project wants
too repell developers.

For example, I understand my own code only if it formatted my way; whenever
I inherit code from somebody else in order to understand it I first reformat
it my way.

But, of course, I assume the same applies to others, i.e. each person prefers
his/her formatting style.

So, automatic reformatting upon check in is the only way to reconcile different
styles without forcing developers to write the code in an unnatural for them way.

Regards,
  Sergei.
