While I have not done this in the git suite, my own suites use something along the lines of the following when I need (and have to validate) exact spacing at the beginning of lines in expected output:
cat <<-EOF | sed "1,\$s/_/ /g" >expect
{ level1 ...
________{ level2
Etc.
EOF
Providing you don't use _ elsewhere in the output. It's a bit hacky but works.
