Hmm.  Giving up on the left space padding would make the table harder
to read because the elements would not be aligned anymore across
multiple lines, and I'd rather keep 8 elements per lines as we do now.
This is generated by this part in PerfectHash.pm, where we apply a
at most 7 spaces of padding to all the members, except the first one
of a line that uses 6 spaces at most with two tabs:
	for (my $i = 0; $i < $nhash; $i++)
	{
		$f .= sprintf "%s%6d,%s",
		  ($i % 8 == 0 ? "\t\t" : " "),
		  $hashtab[$i],
		  ($i % 8 == 7 ? "\n" : "");
	}
Could we consider this stuff as a special case in .gitattributes
instead?
