That it checks for spaces-for-tabs is mostly an accident. I added 'git
diff-index --check' to the pre-commit hook mostly to catch white space at line
end, which can be a real problem due to languages like C and Elisp where such
white space (typically invisible) can quietly change the semantics of a program.
Althoug the --check option also happens to look for space-before-tab in initial
indent, this is not a significant problem in practice for us and we could easily
remove that part of the check if we want. I haven't worried about it, though,
because (like Stefan) I view this tab-vs-spaces thing as a waste of time. I
don't even like the indent-tabs-mode thing that we default to in elisp code, as
it's one more thing to worry about in an area where we should not be worrying.
