Seems to me that indentation of files can never work unless
you use merge tools that ignore changes in white space.
But well.. not worth more words.. it would be a maintenance
nightmare with the number of branches and repositories we
have. It's unfortunate, but indentation cannot be changed.

It would be nice to have write access to some repository
that I could do a quick commit to. Right now I have to
create a new JIRA, and create a new topgit branch (for
the omvviewer that I have write access for) etc etc,
which is so much work that I often consider it not
worth it (Ie, typos in comments -- or a C-style cast
that I ran into which makes the code less robust
(should have been a static_cast)).
