Howver, if we delay fixing the C file indentation until we're already on hg, the merge tools should offer the best chance of being able to apply pre-fix patches and have the software figure out where the whitespace changes need to be accounted for.
For the record, I've added to the untabify script a patch rewriting option ("-p") which reindents all patch hunks for C files containing tabs. It should minimize manual reformatting work with existing patches. Regards Antoine.
