Well, let's put it this way: that "sample" is the one that started the
project.
I got to pick the license. Are you going to argue about that too? I got to
pick the way I wrote the code. Are you going to continue arguing about
that?
The fact is, I don't see the people arguing for spaces having actually
*done* anything for git. So why are you arguing?
Umm. And I've *told* you that.
The whole point is:
- every single damn editor out there can handle tabs.
- it's the default
- end of story.
What's so hard to understand?
That disk-space translates into memory usage too, and into just being
technically the *inferior* choice.
How hard is that to accept? If you have a choice between a technically
better solution, and a technically worse one, why are you arguing for the
worse one?
Hey, Ḯ'm not saying that others shouldn't use spaces. I'm saying that
*git* should not, the same way the Linux kernel does not and will not.
Why? Because tabs are better. You (or anybody else) have simply never
given any argument against that very simple argument. You try to push an
inferior solution.
Don't talk about "rational discussion", since you don't even *have* any.
The starting point for any rational decision would be to explain why
changing tabs to spaces would actually improve anything at all. And you
have yet to show *any* such argument, while I've shown arguments to the
reverse.
One big one being: the person who started the project and still actually
*does* something for it actually cares.
In contrast, your argument seems to be "I've not actually done anything,
but I want to paint the bikeshed pink".
