Now I think I know how this happened.  When "git diff"'s output goes to
a TTY, it passes its output through the pager.  The default pager, less,
seems to convert tabs into spaces.  I probably copy-pasted some output
of diff into my editor then removed the first column of '+' characters.

Just another reason why tabs are evil...
