 I made some edits on my `wip/rae` branch and tried to push to the remote
 `wip/rae` branch. But I see this:

 {{{
 11:42:05 ~/Documents/Programming/ghc-cur> git push -u origin wip/rae
 --force

 files:

  ! [remote rejected] wip/rae -> wip/rae (pre-receive hook declined)
 error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://git@git.haskell.org/ghc.git'
 }}}

 There are two problems here:
 1. I didn't change `testsuite/tests/rename/should_fail/Makefile`!
 2. `Makefile`s like having tabs in them.
