Then I guess nothing is cosmetics. A rather pointless definition of the word.
Also, for this project indentation as far as I know has always been considered
cosmetics, in so far as it should be done separately.

That is a rather funny argument to make for code that you ended up reindenting
twice for no change at all in the end.
You could have saved both yourself and everyone trying to follow your work and
maybe learn something a bit of time by not reindenting at first.
And yes, learning things is one of the main reasons for me to follow this project,
and your style of committing is close to making understanding and learning from
your changes a waste of time for me.
And no, manually doing diff -w is not a substitute, it costs extra time and
needs a SVN checkout and internet connection (or a git checkout).
