How do you set the tab width for C-mode in a .dir-locals.el file?
All the documentation I can find says this should work:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
((nil . ((indent-tabs-mode . t)
(tab-width . 4)
))
(c-mode . ((c-file-style . "BSD")
(subdirs . t)
))
)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
But when I edit a .c file, the tab width is always 8.
What am I doing wrong?
I tried adding (subdirs . t) to the first list, but that made no difference.

Aargh. I just realized it's not tab size that's wrong, it's the
c-file-offsets...
