That would be me. :)

My blog entry from when I did the reindent has some basic sed  
invocations to do a conversion:

   http://landley.net/notes-2012.html#02-11-2012

But the attached python file is another thing I used. It takes an input  
file and converts leading whitespace to a series of T and S characters  
for tab and space respectively. Then if you pipe the output to sort -u  
you can get an idea of what kind of indentation the file is currently  
using. In the case of find:

   $ stuff/whippet.py toys/pending/find.c  | sort -u
   toys/pending/find.c:S
   toys/pending/find.c:SSSSSSSSSS
   toys/pending/find.c:T
   toys/pending/find.c:TSS
   toys/pending/find.c:TT
   toys/pending/find.c:TTT
   toys/pending/find.c:TTTT
   toys/pending/find.c:TTTTT

I.E. mostly tabs but the occasional mix of tabs and spaces, and a  
couple lines indented with a lot of spaces. (In this case the lots of  
spaces line is the last line of the help text.

Another quick little gotcha:

   sed -i 's/^  *$//' toys/pending/find.c

Find lines with nothing but whitespace and blank them. (Some people's  
editors auto-indent lines and then it gets kept even though they left  
the line blank. I should just do a generic find and remove trailing  
whitespace thing...)

I'm checking in the whitespace change as its own commit because mixing  
whitespace and code changes is seldom a good idea. :)
