Subject: [PATCH] git-gui: add configurable tab size to the diff view git-gui - why not added to git-gui ?

Home of the original description and the author of the patch:

http://www.spinics.net/lists/git/msg174415.html

Why not added this useful little patch for git-gui ?

( this patch resolve my problem with 8 spaces tab Linux Eclipse + Java 
program source + git gui
and I apply locally it to each new version git before source compilation )

original content of the message from the link above:

----------------------

For Tk 8.5 the "wordprocessor" mode allows us to get a bit fancy for merge
diffs and intend the tabs by one to compensate for the additional diff
marker at the line start.

The code is heavily based on how gitk handles tabs.
