One thing to keep in mind, if you run the beautifier from within the
commitinfo, only do so to test if the user did it, DO NOT put the output of
the commitinfo beautifier into the repository.

Reason: there are situations where the user's sand box no longer represents
what is in CM when commitinfo beautifier data is put in the repository. This
can lead to big confusion later on.

So the commitinfo beautifier output should only be used as an input to diff,
if diff indicates the files (the input file to beautifier and the output
file from beautifier) given to it are different you exit with a non zero
value and remind the user to run the beautifier.

If the beautifier does not produce consistent output, stop using it.
