At least, one should use two patches, 
one to fix indentation, and a second patch, the actual one.
Make your actions on cvs transparent to others.
( Speaking from experience as someone who doesn't :-)

Another thing is that it is dangerous to assume
everyone wants to indent like you do;
I guess using selecting the part you want to indent and using
M-x indent-region with a vanilla xemacs(C++-mode, no tabulators) would be best.
