I am looking at the output of:

 git diff --check 4b825 -- $(git ls-files '*.[ch]'|grep -v ^compat)

Most of those are false positives from multiline function argument
lists, which are aligned with the first line. So the above command
would break more than it would fix.

I don't care either way, but for future reference: Do we or do we
not want indentation with spaces in this case?
