User-configurable tab width in diff views

When viewing differences prior to check-in (or prior to get-latest), the DIFF view always expands tab characters to 8 wide. Our standard is to use hard tabs to indent, 4 characters wide.

It would be nice to be able to tell SQL Source Control that our tabs are 4 chars wide, so that the diff displays are easier to read and interpret quickly!

    Fully agree with OP and commenters. The default of 8 chars for a tab is way too much. And it's kind of weird that this is pending since 2011!

    This feature could read the SSMS tab width setting and use that for the "default" tab width (in SQL Comare as well). The user should have the option to override this although I don's see why they would.

    Any chance of getting this (probably VERY simple) feature?
    I've only been waiting 2 years...

    Not intending to double-vote this one... just wanted to increase the previous level from 1 vote, and I can't seem to find my old login for the website...
