Well, that's precisely the point, the tool is only useful if the sources are reasonably clean to start with. Otherwise running the tool is going to create thousands of differences and that makes it useless.
Not quite. If you run the tool on every commit (which is in effect what's happening now), you almost guarantee that many people contributing code will experience conflicts on a *daily* basis. If you run the tool once once a year, I will experience the conflict only then. And I will be so much happy.
I don't care if you run it once a year or never. But I do care quite a bit if you do it on every commit. If you can make other people happy by running it once in a while, so be it.
