Xin,

your patch has two basic problems :
- it sometimes has spaces where it should have tabs,
- it has the wrong number of spaces, as if your editor had tab
  stops at every 4 characters instead of the standard 8 characters.

Look at Changelog with less(1), more(1), or anything that has
standard tab stops and you'll see what I mean.

If your editor is vi, remove ts=4 and expandtab. Also try

  :set list
  :set listchars=tab:^.,trail:.

That will make the difference between tabs and spaces obvious.
