This is bad. If you put an if around a block of code it will ignore the
change in indentation. It's best to apply outstanding patches, then
apply the tab patches (so that the rejects will be in the tab patch and
not a functionality patch). Then regenerate all outstanding patches that
weren't committed for some reason, after a 'cvs update' Rejects in the
tab patch are of course safe and I can just generate a new tab patch for
the missed tabs later.

Example of "cvs diff -w" problem:
orignal:
a;
b;
c;
modified:
if (x)
{
a;
b;
c;
}
else
d;
modified by a "cvs diff -w" patch
if (x)
{
a;
b;
c;
}
else
d;
