Yep, that makes sense. Looks like I introduced the problem (most of my perl used to be written in a style that forbids tabs, so it may have snuck in that way, but the rest of the file definitely follows Git's usual style of tabs). > diff --git a/contrib/diff-highlight/DiffHighlight.pm b/contrib/diff-highlight/DiffHighlight.pm > index 7440aa1c46..e2589922a6 100644 > --- a/contrib/diff-highlight/DiffHighlight.pm > +++ b/contrib/diff-highlight/DiffHighlight.pm > @@ -72,7 +72,7 @@ sub handle_line { > (?:$COLOR?\|$COLOR?[ ])* # zero or more trailing "|" > [ ]* # trailing whitespace for merges > /x) { > - my $graph_prefix = $&; > + my $graph_prefix = $&; There are a few lines just above that have 8+ spaces. Arguably those could be tabs, too, depending on your view of tabs. We usually do "8 spaces is a tab" in the Git project, but the oft-repeated "tabs to indent, spaces to align" mantra would apply here (and I suspect you're using a different tabwidth since you noticed this one case). So I'd just as soon leave them be, and take your patch as-is. -Peff
