This might matter if I'm comparing non-diff code to diff code. But in a
diff, _everything_ is indented by exactly one space, so it all lines up.
Is there something I'm missing?

if the code uses a tab and the patch uses 8 spaces the two will not line up 
in the diff becouse in the diff output the tab is 'only 7 spaces;

useing one or the other isn't the problem, it's the mixing of the two.

Yes, obviously. The people who advocate mixing really _are_ objectively
wrong. But I was talking about all-spaces versus all-tabs.
