Why?  I would suggest the exact opposite, that it would be more useful
to go through and commit all "untabify" changes at once for each
module.

Nonsense.  Emacs users simply edit their ~/.emacs to make Emacs use a
different, non-sucky C mode style.  The fact that the default c-mode
style is so hideious is merely annoying.  Worse, is that by default
Gnu Emacs sticks hard tabs in everywhere, and that's everywhere, not
just for C code.  Each user must also fix that.
