Not only do you get their changes, but also their formatting changes shown in the differences report. When I write new code, I follow the company's guidelines. When I modify existing code, I try to keep my code 'consistent' with the surrounding code. What I've found helps the most is consistency. Ideally, consistency among all the files. Failing that, consistency in that source file is decent.
