I looked into this, and find that the cause of the problem is that
pgindent touched src/interfaces/ecpg/include/sqlca.h, which is copied
verbatim into preprocessed files by the ecpg preprocessor, so the expected
files had to change in tandem. This amounts to a dependency, but the make
rules don't know about it. Should they? That particular file changes so
seldom that it'd hardly be worth worrying about, but I'm not sure which
other files can get copied similarly.

I'm confused by this statement. Your tab-adjustment commits in the back
branches also touched both sqlca.h and the ecpg expected files.
