After looking at your diff I see that you are just making the point that if (for example) a curly brace is moved from right after the method arguments to the next line it shows up as a difference which makes it more difficult to determine what
functionaly changed in the code.
Not sure if you are aware but you can track (and submit) bugs and their fixes on the FIRST Forge site.
