I like to manually expand tabs in magit-diff (on whenever I'm looking at diff
output).
This avoids line misalignment due to the prepended "+/-", which would change
depending on the positions of spaces and tabs. If you're using
whitespace-cleanup and tabs are involved, it happens frequently, and you never
know if the indentation changed and/or there's a misalignment.
I don't think there would be any side-effect, since there's no point in editing
the diff itself, except when you're searching in the diff for literal tabs.
I currently do it with:
(add-hook 'magit-refresh-buffer-hook
(lambda ()
(when (eq major-mode 'magit-diff-mode)
(let ((inhibit-read-only t))
(replace-string "\t" " " nil (point-min) (point-max))))))
Comments?
