It's considered bad form to have 'non-canonical' whitespace in your repository. It creates diffs where there are none. So, basically, for the same reason we don't want DOS line endings in the repository.
If I ran the zoo, I would complain about non-empty blank lines and whitespace at the end of lines too. Most editors have an auto-expand-tabs mode, so this should not be hard to obey. Some editors even flag stray whitespace. On 2006-06-19, at 19:25 EDT, Jim Grandy wrote: > We either need a pre-commit hook to check for hard tabs, or we need > to remove this requirement.
