Formatting Code - Cross-platform Editors

There was a thread on enforcing code format prior to committing (in
2005) and I saw no real resolution.

I have an interest in the same subject because I have to share code,
via svn, with MS Visual C++ developers. Their IDE slings text files
around like there is no control at all. The code is horrible when
importing into xemacs. I have seen no such complaints here so there
must be something my VC++ people are doing wrong (or I am: tabs vs.
space control, or?).

So the question is: how do you avoid gross text reformatting going
between VC++ and "normal" *nix code editors (I use xemacs).

Thanks for any suggestions or pointers.
