I can't endorse George's advice strongly enough - to set formatting options (line length, indent length, and XML formatting rules) at the project level. Ever since I discovered this technique and moved my team's project file into version control, this problem of one person's format & indent changing the whole file after another person's commit went away. (Our project file also stores validation scenarios and a suite of external tools that we can call from oXygen; see https://github.com/HistoryAtState/hsg-project/wiki/setup#get-hsg-project.)

Also, we typically separate commits into two types - first, a substantive commits, followed by a format & indent commit. This allows everyone to see exactly what we intended to change, vs. the resulting formatting-only changes.

Hi Franz-Josef,

Well, the file is actually changed by the format and indent, so if you
save it and it is different you should see that, no?
One option may is to batch format and indent your files and commit them
that way, so there will be no further changes when you format and indent
them.
Setting formatting options at project level will help anyone opening the
same files but using the same project to have the same formatting.

Best Regards,
George
