Hello all,

recently a tree I've been working on received some thorough whitespace adjustments (changing indents from spaces to tabs). This results in annoying conflicts when running merges or rebases with my local branches. I tried googling around but I couldn't find any helpful hints on how to make git cope with this. Any suggestions?
