There is "all-spaces", but there is no "all-tabs" choice.
The latter will always be mixture of "spaces and tabs". We have no
control how the tabs mix with spaces or vice versa: there could even be
"eight spaces" + proper tabs.
Speaking generalities (not the git project):
People can't be controlled, or their settings. Therefore there is a
policy and QA tools to monitor the issues and make things canonical;
whatever that is for the project.
