The reason why I thought "--tab-size=4" is not the best name is because it only states that the user prefers a non-standard tab stops that are every 4 display spaces, and does not say what we with do that information, i.e. it does not hint "We expand tabs to spaces according to this setting" in its name. I think log.tabwidth shares the same characteristics. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
