You can't indent patches, only patched files. And that's the problem 
with this happy scheme. For it to work at all sanely we'd need to keep 
the committed code that the patch is to be applied against strictly 
pgindent clean, presumably via some automated process such as a commit 
hook. That's been suggested in the past, but hasn't met with universal 
approval, IIRC.
