Tabs make file smaller.  I just did an experiment.  In lread.c, M-x
untabify changed 139702 characters into 155402 characters, which is
11% bigger.

For subr.el, it was smaller: 200817 characters became 209939, only
4.5% bigger.  However, files.el got 12% bigger.

If most of a git repository is text from various versions of files,
the repository is also likely to get around 10% bigger without tabs,
and now you're talking about 30 meg more.
