I prefer using tabs for indentation as one gets the tab width flexibility 
which makes everyone happy about how large they want the indent to be. 

That said, I don't mind using spaces instead as it's pretty much transparent 
when writing code, since the editors I use (vim or acme) are both decent 
enough to handle spaces as well as tabs. I would have assumed any editor 
would fare well no matter what you use...
The only thing that matters in the end is to be coherent and stick with the 
indent method which was used for a given file, so that it stays readable 
whatever means you use to display it (thinking of cat, less, etc...)

Then if some ppl have enough free time on their hands to spend it on "fixing" 
indent, good for them, if they really think that can help the whole community 
and not only for the sake of imposing their style... 
However as it's been already said, it should not get in the way of other ppl 
who want to review real commits, so I'm in favor of separate commits for 
indents.

Cheers,
Mathieu
