 Replying to [comment:1 martinl]:

 mixed tabs and spaces
 I think that we need an option to resolve issues as "so what?". But
 invalid or wontfix would suffice here.
 Mixing tabs and spaces isn't inherently a problem, so long as no-one uses
 something other than 8 column tabs (which is a bad idea for so many
 reasons).
 Even if we "fix" it for now, it will just keep creeping back in. Not all
 GRASS developers work on GRASS and GRASS alone, and not all text editors
 can easily be configured to automatically use different conventions for
 different projects. So people will continue to commit changes which use
 their text editor's default indentation.
 The only permanent fix would be to configure the subversion server to
 automatically convert files on upload (although that can create problems
 of its own).
