You can try telling git to ignore whitespace.

My point of view is a bit different: tabs are good, therefore avoid everything that doesn't work with tabs. Lining things up is evil, hard wrap-up limits are evil, and so on. Yes, it requires a lot of discipline, but then so does software development in general.
