Instead of converting to whitespaces in Git, we could make use of the set_tabs capability for ttys and setup the terminal for having tabs align to 12,+8,+8,+8...Or rather read in the existing tabs configuration and shift it by a constant.Could this also help with diff output, where the leading + or - mars the indentation in a similar way?
Hardly: the same pager would be used to display the commit message (with a 4-space prefix) and the diff (with a 1-char +/- prefix). So the offsets in these two places would need to be different, and I don't think we can change that on the fly. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/
