How do you submit your changes?  If you write to the repository
directly this would be a problem.  If you send patches and you have
GNU diff then:

brains hgs 30 %> gdiff --help
Usage: gdiff [OPTION]... FILES
Compare files line by line.

  -i  --ignore-case  Ignore case differences in file contents.
  --ignore-file-name-case  Ignore case when comparing file names.
  --no-ignore-file-name-case  Consider case when comparing file names.
  -E  --ignore-tab-expansion  Ignore changes due to tab expansion.

        [....]

so do
gdiff -u -E old, new 
and all ought to be fine.
brains hgs 38 %> gdiff -u -E tabtest.orig tabtest
