I've done that.
Abbreviated patches below.

However, there are some "issues" to consider.
Any global space-changing delta like these is going to cause
trouble (conflicts) for people with pending changes and on branches.
This one isn't too bad (as these things go), since the TAB-to-space
change affects fewer than 1500 lines in 37 files.  However, the
new rule enforces the coding standard only in files with an existing
"indent-tabs-mode: nil" directive.  There are currently 42 .[ch] files
that don't have such a directive (excluding gnulib/).

    $ git ls-files|grep -E '\.[ch]$'|xargs grep -L indent-tabs-mode|grep -v \
      gnulib|wc -l
    42

If I were to do the same for those remaining files,
the TAB-to-space change would modify an additional 2817 lines
in 28 files:

    $ git ls-files|grep -E '\.[ch]$'|xargs grep -L indent-tabs-mode|grep -v \
    gnulib|xargs grep -E '^ *	'|wc -l
    2817
    $ git ls-files|grep -E '\.[ch]$'|xargs grep -L indent-tabs-mode|grep -v \
    gnulib|xargs grep -El '^ *	'|wc -l
    28

My opinion is that if it's worth doing the first, it's also worth
finishing the job, ... but then I don't have any huge re-architecting
changes in my queue.

However, I don't want to overstate the case either.
The cost of a few space-change-provoked merges is pretty low
in the grand scheme of things.

What say you?
Convert 'em all?

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Here are the interesting parts of the two changes.
First, remove the 'tab-width: 4' directives and make sure they
stay gone:

	remove all 'tab-width: 4' directives
	Makefile.maint (sc_prohibit_tab_width_4): New rule.
	Remove all of them, using this command:
	git grep -l 'tab-width: 4' \
	  | xargs perl -ni -e '/^\s*\*\s*tab-width:\s*4\s*$/ or print'
