You can't help yourself not sneaking in any changes which are not code
movement, can ya?

The purpose of a sole code movement patch is to ease the review. Not to
have to look at the code movement *and* some *additional* changes which
you've done in-flight. Just because you felt like it. But which is nasty
to review.

Maybe you'll understand that better when you get to review someone
else's patch which does crap like that.

Make sure you remember that in the future, when sending patches.
