4 spaces has been the unofficial standard for years, and I a) bleat if
I see a patch with tabs (I think I did to Chuck actually) and b) fix
them if I spot them (usually if I'm editing in vim).

I'm not convinced it would make so much difference that we'd have
trouble tracing back SVN history - I'd probably start with pgagent
anyway and see how that went.
What I'm less convinced about is that pgindent will know how to format
C++ properly, though I'm sure there will be other tools that could do
the job.
