I do indeed. I don't think it's sensible. And I did think I already
answered that issue by talking about how most editors don't even support
it or show the difference between tabs and spaces.
For example, the editor I use - microemacs - supports tabs just fine. It
does auto-indentation etc. But it does it with hard-tabs by default, so
now you have to have some editor-specific setup for that particular
project if you ever want to do anything else.
And that's really what it boils down to. Everybody support 8-character
hardtabs (and usually by default). They may support other things *too*,
but any time you move away from that standard behaviour, you'll most
likely find something that doesn't support the alternatives.
So yes, the answer really is: "git uses 8-character hard-tabs, live with
it".
