[stats-dev] Formatting

[Benjamin Gavin]

Well a large bit of the 2-space indentation comes from me :)  I could care
less what format we use, but it needs to be easy to do in vi. ;)

As far as SQL formatting goes, I fail to see how either of the two
examples you gave are any harder than the other...  Personally I would
vote for the version that's easier to read (and because that's the
standard I tend to use), but again, I could really care less since they
are both equally difficult (or easy) to code.
