These days, GNU Coding Standards state that hard tabs are optional, but
if present they represent 8 spaces.  Many GNU projects use a space-only
policy (GNU coreutils for example).  So if I have any say, I'd recommend
that you re-tune your indent settings for space-only on any file that
you reindent to keep in the GNU style.
