Please see the comment made by Junio Hamano, pasted below:
"written a long time ago" does not have much value by itself (it
does serve as a backstory to explain a half of why it does not use
the more modern style, though). "have a few style violations." is
almost meaningless (otherwise, you would not be doing a "modernize
style" patch in the first place ;-).
I myself also agree with the above comment and hence, wrote the commit message
accordingly. What do you think?

Oh nice, didn't know about this. I will keep this in mind for future
patch submissions.
Should I do this for the current patch as well?
