The problem is lines with mixed tabs and spaces, and different users

Isn't that the whole point: using spaces causes conflict over
indentation, using tabs, 1 per indent level, allows individuals to
choose their indent level.
It is. But mishmashing tab and space indentation causes far worse conflict.
Iain - I take it you meant that mishmashing, combined with users having different tab size
settings, causes a problem. Correct?
