+Patch 7.3.301
+Problem:    When 'smartindent' and 'copyindent' are set a Tab is used even
+	    though 'expandtab' is set.
+Solution:   Do not insert Tabs. Add a test. (Christian Brabandt)
+Files:	    src/misc1.c, src/testdir/test19.in, src/testdir/test19.ok

+I recommend ordering large cargo containers of paper towels to make up
+whatever budget underruns you have.  Paper products are always useful and they
+have the advantage of being completely flushable if you need to make room in
+the storage area later.
