That's the -br -> -bl change.

Changing -bli1 -> -bli0 means that braces are aligned with the command
rather than being an extra space in, i.e.

        if (...)
        {
                ...
        }

rather than:

        if (...)
         {
                ...
         }

Having braces aligned makes it easier to do manual alignment, as
everything is then aligned to a multiple of 4 columns. It's also
easier in terms of configuring Emacs' auto-formatting, which expects
everything to be specified as multiples of the indentation step.
