Spaces to tabs
==============

If you prefer tabs to spaces, the following recipe seems to convert everything
pretty nicely:

    $ find . -name .git -prune -o -name vim -prune -o -type f \
        -exec sh -c \
        'for f;do unexpand -t4 "$f">"$f".tmp;mv "$f".tmp "$f";done' \
        \_ {} +

    $ find vim -name bundle -prune -o -type f \
        -exec sh -c \
        'for f;do unexpand -t2 "$f">"$f".tmp;mv "$f".tmp "$f";done' \
        \_ {} +

If you have GNU `unexpand(1)` and can add `--first-only` to each of those
calls, the results seem perfect.

You can configure Vim to accommodate this by removing the settings in
vim/vimrc.vim for:

- `'expandtab'`
- `'shiftwidth'`
- `'smarttab'`
- `'softtabstop'`
