All modern code editors I've used count one tab as one level of indentation
and use four spaces for tab-width by default. Different tab-widths aside,
what I don't get is what benefit combining spaces and tabs could bring
besides historic ones (wikipedia tells me tabs where used for
compression). It just seems like the least portable and least flexible.

Indent the changed lines using spaces only.
