I have a report from an MSIE suffering user:

> When I use it (and I believe I've seen this on my laptop as well as my
> workstation) all left-hand margin whitespace is collapsed to nothingness.
> Once can still parse the code, but it's harder with no indentations.

A screenshot from a Windows laptop to illustrate the problem is at http://www.linux-mips.org/~ralf/gitweb.png. It shows the code was preformatted correctly which seems to be an IE bug but the following patch seems to work around it.

  	my $str = shift;
  	$str = decode("utf8", $str, Encode::FB_DEFAULT);
  	$str = escapeHTML($str);
+ 	$str =~ s/ /&nbsp;/g;
  	return $str;
  }

Thanks,
