Commit reformat/rearrange changes as separate commit
Answered
Is there a way to separate the reformat/rearrange changes that IntelliJ makes on your behalf into a completely separate commit, just so there's no confusion about what your actual commit is intended to affect?

Hello,
If I understand the request correctly, you can commit without automatic reformating, then reformat the file, and commit again.
But could you please clarify, why does auto reformating during commit make a confusion?
We're beginning to use this feature on an older codebase and when it's reformatting/rearranging code, those lines get tagged with the new commit message/version, making it seem like it was a necessary change instead of just cleanup.
Would it be an option to reformat the whole project first and commit it with the appropriate message and then perform the necessary edits/commits?
Might not be a bad idea - in fact, I think I'd prefer this - but it might be nice to have the feature that I'm talking about. Definitely not necessary, but nice.
