If each developer have its own version of code - they will be getting merge
conflicts if they modify the same file, diffs will be unusable, etc.

It is organizational problem - so it is not correctly to solve it by
technical means.

It would be better to do some of the following:
a) document codу style and publish formatter settings for most popular IDEs,
so the user just import it.
b) force all developers to use the same tools with identical code style
settings.
c) add some tool checking format rules (e.g. checkstyle) to the nightly
builds.

The triggers from commitinfo are executed beforу the commit, but I am not
sure if it is supported if they would modify commited files. It is designed
so it can just reject files if they do not meet some criteria.
