My measly contribution:

I don't have a strong opinion on this issue although I don't use tabs
myself and tabs do make .diff look strange sometimes.  If the tabs are
banned, however, there should be info how to configure indenting editors
like emacs to use spaces instead of tabs.

Something like
        (custom-set-variables '(indent-tabs-mode nil))
should work for emacs.
