Really.

However, with a tabstop of 2, it looks like this:

  if (foo && bar && baz &&
      qux && quux) {
    ...
  } else if (quuux(quuuux, quuuuux,
        long_expresion_comes_here(quuuuuux))) {
    ...
  }

Notice that your `qux && quux' line (which follows the method we both like)
remained nicely aligned, but your `long_expression_comes_here' line has
moved back so much that it doesn't even satisfy the `right margin' rule
anymore.
Oh, I still think a tabstop of 2 is insane (for various reasons, some
explained in the thread you mentioned).

No matter --- Junio will use --whitespace=fixup to convert your spaces
to tabs anyway.  Just thought I could give some survival tips.
