Magit views don't respect editorconfig.

[YellowOnion]

I've opened up a discussion on the magit discussion board

Perhaps they need to expose some apis so you can get the right hints to apply the correct settings in the diff / revision view.

The commit view looks easier as you can just glob against the git "magic" i.e. .~master~ in the buffer name (if that's how it works)

Hmmm... I don't think this is editorconfig's issue since the diff view should have the indentation display correctly, isn't it? I'm reading the codebase now, but I don't think editorconfig should be responsible for the diff mode. 😕

Basically editorconfig works for files, and the diff view is not related to a file. So, at least, currently this is an expected behavior...

One possible idea is implementing a function that gets indent values from .editorconfig and sets them to diff-mode, and adding that to diff-mode-hook.
