I don't like the look of this because it adds something to a hook unnecessarily, when having a .dir-locals.el file would be simpler and cleaner. > Does this code help? No, because I have indent-tabs-mode customized to nil by default anyway (I don't use tabs in my own files, by default). And now I cannot get whitespace-mode to work with ChangeLogs, because while the body of ChangeLog entries require leading tabs, the second and subsequent lines of author headers require leading spaces. So I guess I have to turn off whitespace-mode for ChangeLogs. > Also, gnulib-tool does not (and probably should not) copy files that > affect an entire directory.
