2 character wide spaces are minimal width indent one can work with.
And to reduce line width I use the minimal indent with. Yes, I know
that I should correct coding style instead...

Using 2 characters wide tabs for gitweb stems also from the fact
that I could not configure Emacs and cperl-mode to automatically
indent with tabs (probably because many Emacsers think that
TabsAreEvil); I should probably set some indent/offset variable
to the tab-width value, or something...
