Thank you and JP for the help with git commands, here are the
commands I accumulated only working on this small patch.

But I think it doesn't take that long to become fluent with
the git basics, after that overhead efforts are
less frustrating.

If one wants to `untabify' files on `save-buffer', but not in
cases like this, this is more tricky but as a poor man's
solution one can add exceptions to the function that does it,
like this

(defun untab-all ()
  (unless (member major-mode '(emacs-lisp-mode
                               makefile-gmake-mode
                               makefile-mode) ) ; exceptions
    (untabify (point-min) (point-max)))
  nil)

That last `nil' indicates it did not write the buffer to the
disk, used by `before-save-hook' - so it is useful, even tho
it looks funky in a defun.
