I know (superficially) the indent, and support to use it. 

I agree the 4 for tab size. I preference the -br (if I interpret
it as right way), and no other expectation.

Anyway, could be review the all possible options, and made a
project file as you describe, with different setup.

Then reformat the source tree with that, and compare the new
format with the old one. The minimal difference wins. :)

I'll try to do this at next days - but I'll wait Thomas's
opinion.
