Modern editors (like "geany" that I am using) usually feature the
possibility to auto-detect the indentation style of every file that is
opened. At least there should be the possibility to display
TABs with a slightly different color (or even symbol) than spaces, so
you can see when you mix spaces and tabs by accident. Everything else is
coding-style-hara-kiri when your working on multiple OSS projects in
parallel.
