The if statement alignment has become a rule and people will make you
redo it if it's not aligned. I haven't seen anyone have to redo a
patch because of alignment on these:

My favorite format is aligned:
foo = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy;

Also popular:
foo = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy;

Right aligned looks like nonsense:
foo = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy;

Here is a more complex aligned statement:
foo = bar * (xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy);

regards,
dan carpenter
