Maybe "increase code readability" instead, I originally thought you
wanted to increase the readability of the output.

> Add braces to if/else statements to make the code more readable.

Git's coding style usually do not use "useless" braces. I think you're
only adding some in if statements that already had one branch (then or
else) braced, which is OK, but you should state that in the commit
message.

I don't care much either way about the application of this patch, but
expect others to say "this is useless code churn, not worth the
trouble".

Whitespace damage on the last }.

I was aware of this when i made this patch, but I am new to open
source and thought this might be a good start (was originally messing
around in wt-status.c for another change).
So i pretty much only care about the communication on this list for
now so thanks for your input, it helps.

Will fix the issues and resend.
