I agree, but it's a single-line change that does not make much sense without
this patch, so I decided to not have a patch that just replaces "  " with "\t".

No. This is just a note like "the function I just killed had a bug,
the function
that replaces it does not have the same bug". It would make no sense
to send a
patch to fix the old function, then send this patch replacing the
whole
function. Why fix it if you're going to replace it?
