Hm, I don't know why my message from yesterday did not make it to the
list, but I'm objecting against flow of such changes that are not always
actual changes (replacing spaces by tabs). We don't really need them at
this point of development phase of btrfs.

The style issues should be fixed when a patch is being merged, doing it
afterwards increases patch history and makes digging in history
unnecessarily tedious.

There are lots of opportunities to do actual code cleanup, whitespaces
are just noise.
