Aha! A specific file. I'm supportive of fixing that specific file. Now if you can figure out how to do it and still allow merging between 2.6 and 3.0 that would be cool.

Here's the simplest solution I thought so far to allow smooth merging subsequently. First, fix the 2.6 version with 4-space indent. Over a third of the file is already using spaces for indentation, so I don't think losing consistency is a big deal. Then, block the trunk commit with svnmerge to prevent it from being merged back to the py3k branch. Finally, fix the 3.0 version.
