I should actually have been specific about something else:
If we prefer spaces to tabs (and I will not attempt to stack my eloquence and vituperation against jwz's), we should probably stick the git-equivalent of a pre-commit-hook into the repo to refuse to accept tabs.
Daniel --- is your git fu strong enough for this task?
It could be. This would require putting the proper hooks/pre-commit file in a .git directory. Should it check all files in the project, or only lisp sources?
In either case, git-fu is nice. And if git-fu there be, can we also eliminate trailing whitespace?
See core.whitespace in the git-config manpage; by default git warns about trailing whitespace. Commands that apply patches (e.g. git-apply and git-am) have an option to control this; --whitespace=error or --whitespace=fix might be what you want. This choice can be made permanent by something like # git config apply.whitespace error
Also look at the gitattributes manpage.
