I concede my calculation was crude.

Interestingly, modifying my calculation to look
for tabs at the beginning of the line gives a
similar result:

     # calculates the extra space required to
     # use the given number of spaces/tab.
     size()
     {
         count=`grep -RIo "^\`printf \"\t\"\`" . | wc -l`;
         perl -e "print $count*$(($1-1))/1024/1024 . \" MiB\n\"";
     }

     size 8; => 49.7416791915894 MiB

and for git:
	
     size 8; => 1.25082969665527 MiB


Anyway, thanks for the neat script.
