Ah, I see.

Yes, it is the same thing, with changes where I found something
misaligned on top.

It is "s/    /\t/" limited to the beginning of the line. The function
parameters were caught in it too, but I don't think they would make
the most of the lines.

I already started working on it. It is too complex for awk/sed, so I'm
trying to find some better way through IDEs with autoformatting
capabilities.

Part of the issue is that xfsdump is not even consistently using the
number of spaces. E.g. just a two random functions in
invutil/stobj.c:335-486 in master, you find that both 2 and 4 spaces
per indent level are used and even stuff like \t<space*4> inside of
"if", without it being a function parameter.

And the indentation of the parameters will change anyway, as we have
parameters indented with tabs only, and with spaces only, and with
some mix that makes no sense unless you configure your editor to show
\t as an odd number of spaces except on the first Thursday of a month,
but only on years that make a power of 2... Same as the rest of the
code. :-) So I expect the resulting set to be roughly the same size as
it is now. But I will break the patch by component, it should pass
through then.

Thanks,
Jan
