Yep if you're going to convert from tabs to spaces or vice versa, please do a check-in/commit consisting only of that change before making any substantive code changes.

Was going to say the same... nothing wrong with a commit including only format changes... for that matter, add it as a task to the project, commit, run it, commit, then proceed to edit. If you have commit hooks setup, add it as a precommit hook/task.

As long as it's relatively transparent for everyone to be able to use.
