Do you trust the "indent" program?

Let's say your company just decided on a coding standard and let's
say you were able to come up with a specification file for the
'indent' program that would allow 'indent' to change all your
1000's of source files to meet the standard. Do you trust 'indent'
enough to run it on all your source file without making any mistakes?
By mistakes I mean changes that actually change your code so that it
does something different than what it did before you ran it through
'indent'.
