The C code is all tabs, with the tabs set at 8 spaces, but the
actual tab width isn't too important here as we never use the tab
for alignment beyond the left indent.

Consider this from diff-lib.c:

/* A file entry went away or appeared */
static void diff_index_show_file(struct rev_info *revs,
                 const char *prefix,
                 struct cache_entry *ce,
                 unsigned char *sha1, unsigned int mode)
{
    diff_addremove(&revs->diffopt, prefix[0], ntohl(mode),
               sha1, ce->name, NULL);
}

There are mixed tabs and spaces for alignment.


Function declarations don't count ;-)

I suppose I'll be fine if I just set tab widths to 8.
But 8 spaces! Good Lord. ;-)

I really hate tabs.


Well, using hard tabs is the only way we can let everyone have
different levels of indentation while still having things look
sort of sane.
