Re: [PATCH 2/3] git-apply: complain about >=8 consecutive spaces in initial indent

Complain if we find 8 spaces or more in a row as part of the initial

I do quite a bit of hacking on "spaces-for-indentation" projects and
still use stripspace to cleanup my patches. So no, thanks.

Perhaps split it off to a separate option? I'm not opposed to the
functionality per-se, but don't put together with
trailing-space-trimming. It's a different beast. Everyone agrees
trimming trailing spaces as much as everyone disagrees on
tabs-vs-spaces.

cheers,
