So here is the third try (previous round is found at $gmane/289166

The first three patches are essentially the same as v2.  The last
two updates how the tab-expansion is internally controlled:

I tested this (as it in in 'pu', rather than applying the patches),
and it all seems to work fine. So Ack.

And I agree that it would be good if all the commit printout logic was
unified rather than having some ad-hoc "let's just set the format",
but I think that's a separate cleanup.

It might be more regular to have that "--expand-tabs" flag too (which
would then work with the email and raw formats), but I don't see any
actual real use for it so it really doesn't matter.
