pre-commit hook: disallow-tabs (with attachment - doh!)

I've attached a script that I hope will be useful to others who
constantly find indentation and whitespace-only differences because some
editors use tabs and others don't.

This script is designed to be invoked from your pre-commit hook script
as follows:
 
REPOS="$1"
TXN="$2"

DisallowCommit=0

#... other tests ...
 
# Check for tab characters in source files
if ! disallow-tabs "$REPOS" "$TXN" c cpp h html java
then
    # disallow-tabs prints error itself
    DisallowCommit=1
fi
 
exit $DisallowCommit
======================================

usage:
  disallow-tabs <repository> <transaction> <suffix>...

Specify a set of file suffixes (as written, they must be preceded by
'.', but that would be easy to change); files matching any suffix are
searched and the commit rejected if any tab characters are found.

(I've also posted this as a patch to the developers list for inclusion
in the distribution if you think it worthwhile).
