I could use a suggestion to automate that workflow: I never use tabs,
but often find myself editing files that have them. As soon as it gets
annoying, I remember to perform untabify on the buffer, but there's
probably an accepted automated method to respect the tab/space
preferences of everyone.

I use `C-x 4 a' a lot, but for Changelog files. How can it be used for
commit messages? Are you suggesting a temporary fake Changelog file? I
see the output now in the online gnu cgit repository, so that's do-able
manually. Are you saying that there's an automated way using function
`add-change-log-entry-other-window'?
