Did you try typing the open brace?  It might move to the left.

If it doesn't, you can still try TAB after typing the open brace.

I guess if there is no brace after if, you do want the next line to
be indented.  So you want:

    if (some_condition)
        some_action;

instead of

    if (some_condition)
    some_action;

Right?  Obviously, Emacs can't know whether you will be typing a
brace or not, after you hit RET.
