At a first look, it seems not easily. It has:
sub untabify {
my $line = shift;

while ((my $pos = index($line, "\t")) != -1) {
if (my $count = (8 - ($pos % 8))) {
my $spaces = ' ' x $count;
$line =~ s/\t/$spaces/;
}
}

return $line;
}

Which can do it, but if that's what's used, it'll have an effect on
all the other repositories on the server as well. You'd want it to be
configurable on a per-repository basis.

Now, gitweb is also "just a perlscript", so it can probably be adapted
to read that from the config file :-)
