The problem I'm running into is when I use Lindent, it automatically 
makes the
change above, so I can't use that tool for the file. Even when I correct 
the changes
in the file git diff still shows the non-change, so I'm just trying to 
figure out how
to use the given tools without having these issues. I'm going to just go 
manual with
my future changes is suppose.
