Hi all,

I don’t know if this is possible but it would be great if some sub-directories 
could be excluded from the no-tabs pre-commit hook. For example, there are many 
test262 tests that contain tabs, either because they intentionally try to test 
parsing tab characters or because they were written by someone that used them. 
Regardless, it’s pretty inconvenient to add the svn attribute that allows tabs 
every time I update the tests. Since svn properties can’t apply to directories, 
as far as I know, there’s no way to add the “allow-tabs” property to the entire 
test262 directory.

Alternatively, we could remove the pre-commit hook as tabs should be caught by 
the style-checker anyway. This is a more contentious choice so I’m not 
proposing it as the first option unless someone else wants to push for it.

Cheers,
Keith Miller
