           Summary: check-webkit-style: Suppress the usual tab check for
                    files having the allow-tabs property
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)

This report is an outgrowth of the following report on excluding selected
code/files/directories from certain style checks:

More information on the allow-tabs property is in this e-mail:

https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2010-January/011331.html

Question:

It seems that git might not be able to "see" the allow-tabs property.  See, for
instance, the "Bugs" section of the man page for git-svn(1):

> We ignore all SVN properties except svn:executable. Any unhandled properties are logged to $GIT_DIR/svn/<refname>/unhandled.log

(from http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-svn.html )

Would implementing this enhancement mean that check-webkit-style will not yield
correct results unless run from an SVN repository?
