In output, indents should be a tab, not 4 spaces

Possibly contentious issue here, of course...

Spaces appear commonly in file names, tabs do not, so there is less potential ambiguity
Big output files mean lots of indents; why use 4x the characters?
When parsing the output, startswith('\t')is a little nicer thanstartswith(" ")`

This could at least be partially resolved by documenting the output format.
