In fact I propose two options. Or all use an indentation of 5 spaces or we
indent with a tab that represent 5 space (so developer can set tabspace to
whatever he want changing indentation look).
It's supposed that after we indent all code all newe code will be indented
in such way before committing... so the problem will be resolved... (I hope)
