Here's the simplest solution I thought so far to allow smooth merging
subsequently. First, fix the 2.6 version with 4-space indent. Over a
third of the file is already using spaces for indentation, so I don't
think losing consistency is a big deal. Then, block the trunk commit
with svnmerge to prevent it from being merged back to the py3k branch.
Finally, fix the 3.0 version.
