So the client is only sending deltas to the server. For the post commit
solution to work, a checkout needs to be done to build the file from the
deltas that were committed to the server, that file could be formatted
and then committed. I can see now how it is technically challenging to
implement this on the server side, at least in a reasonable way.

I agree that it is currently the user's responsibility, I was suggesting
that it would be an improvement to the system if that responsibility
could be shifted off of the individual developers.
