You don't have to convince him, just make sure your own emacs
configuration can be set to leave my X server files alone :-)

This policy seems misguided to me, but then I spend a lot of time lookin
at CVS diffs, for which changes of this nature are evil.

Ah, note that the provided diff is also hard to read because there are
some *important* whitespace changes that it ignores.  That's just as bad
as including white space changes which aren't important.  I refer here
to whitespace changes which affect how the code is indented.

Even in the short term we should be able to get the x server to be a lot
smarter about where pixmaps get put so that we don't spend a lot of CPU
cycles waiting for pixels to trickle across the AGP bus.

Thanks again.
