Nothing wrong with lazy, as long as we go back and fix it :).  Check
out the term "technical debt"...

Many editors will help you out the indent level -- I use emacs, which takes

It's a mildly sticky problem; if it were trivial, I would have set up at least

done with test-git: develop some simple scripts to run obvious tests, and then
integrate them into an automated test suite later.
