pretty: expand tabs in indented logs to make things line up properly
A commit log message sometimes tries to line things up using tabs, assuming fixed-width font with the standard 8-place tab settings. Viewing such a commit however does not work well in "git log", as we indent the lines by prefixing 4 spaces in front of them. This should all line up: Column 1 Column 2 -------- -------- A B ABCD EFGH SPACES Instead of Tabs Even with multi-byte UTF8 characters: Column 1 Column 2 -------- -------- Ä B åäö 100 A Møøse once bit my sister.. Tab-expand the lines in "git log --expand-tabs" output before prefixing 4 spaces. This is based on the patch by Linus Torvalds, but at this step, we require an explicit command line option to enable the behaviour. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
