[PATCH v5 0/4] Expanding tabs in "git log" output

From
Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

So here is the fifth and hopefully the final try. Previous round are at $gmane/289694, $gmane/289166, $gmane/288987 and $gmane/290222.

This round is different from v4 in the following ways.
 * wording changes, grammo- and typo-fixes in the documentation
   (thanks to Eric Sunshine and Jeff King).
 * v4 made --pretty=$fmt to override an earlier --expand-tabs=<n>;
   this round only allows --pretty=$fmt to set the default behaviour
   when an explicit --expand-tabs=<n> is given on the command line
   (thanks to Jeff King).
   
 * comes with a test.
See the end of this cover letter for an interdiff.
Junio C Hamano (3):
  pretty: enable --expand-tabs by default for selected pretty formats
  pretty: allow tweaking tabwidth in --expand-tabs
  pretty: test --expand-tabs
Linus Torvalds (1):
  pretty: expand tabs in indented logs to make things line up properly
