Thank you.

>If you look at commit a43c5f51a4b1, you will notice that it intended to

apply "magic" tabstops only to 3-way-diffs

I see it now.
I was able to test:
- "Modified, not staged", needs "apply_tab_size 1"
- "Staged for commit", needs "apply_tab_size 1"
- "Requires merge resolution", doesn't work and needs "apply_tab_size 2"
- "Untracked, not staged", handled somewhere else, works
- "Missing", needs "apply_tab_size 1"
- "Staged for removal", needs "apply_tab_size 1"

So I need to make some changes.
