I recently contributed to a GPL project that uses tabs+spaces, but I have emacs configured to not use tabs ever, at all.

After the first git commit it was obvious that this was going to be a problem, the diff lines didn't match at all.

So I'm seriously considering, after 38 years of being a die-hard 'spaces or death!' user to switch to using tabs with my tab-stop size configured to match my spaces preference.
