Well, no, not pointless, because diffs should still work, as long as they ignore white space. The trouble I was having was that patches to the main branch were making wierd indentation (I think because different people use different tabspace indentations). So I think a spaces-only main branch is easier to "patch" to.
I'm not really sure this is the best way...

As of 0.38 I'm using all spaces... I was hoping this policy would _reduce_ whitespace trouble. Heretofore the files have sometimes had spaces where tabs could be used, and sometimes used tabs.
Alright. If you really have changed the whitespace in all files, it will be pretty impossible to merge that into devel_0_37 ... unless ignore-leading-whitespace is in use ... and from that point the original conversion to whitespace has become pointless.
