Yes, I think --fix works best on patches.

When you use -f and --fix together, it can do inappropriate things.

Using multiple passes of -f --fix --types=<ONE_SPECIFIC_TYPE> and
changing the "ONE_SPECIFIC_TYPE" can produce more reasonable patch
sequences.

If you do try it, and please remember it is experimental, do let me
know how well it works or doesn't work for you all.

Bug reports (and patches) welcome.

cheers, Joe
