And just because it's the default doesn't mean a user can't configure such settings to something else locally for some reason and then forget that we use UTF-8 and no trailing whitespaces in gentoo.git.

Which I'd consider important, since I get the feeling that many people seem to prefer spaces over tabs and might have their editor configured that way. > Then again, it doesn't even say that they represent 4 spaces. Is that really important? I don't think we should force a tab width for the user if we don't have a good reason to do so. The good thing about tabs is that the user can set the tab width to their liking. If we enforce a tab width, that would essentially undermine that one big advantage over spaces. Adrian
