here I see a challenge, since so many of our commits, are not code commits, but
like a line wrap commit like this,
this pollutes our diffs and why I'm not a big fan of changing it for changing
it.

The "convention" is something fairly new. For most of the time of Tomcat's life
time, it was the committers preference, but fairly recently is when we started
modifying style for style's sake. So the archives you refer to, can't go that
far back. The only convention we've had through the history of Tomcat, is
spaces, not tabs, not line length etc.
