I don't feel moral authority to enforce a particular style, but I tend to use
the Linux kernel one these days myself (except I prefer split-lines to have
the operator at the beginning of the line, for readability, eg:

	if (some_complex_function(foo, bar, baz)
        && some_other_complex_function(wiz, bang, buzz))
