Following on a message from a few days ago, I've prepared a patch (attached) 
that alters the behavior of 'org-edit-src-exit' so that it no longer adds an 
extra 2 spaces of indentation each time a source block (or a table.el table) is 
edited.  Previously a workaround was to set 'org-src-preserve-indentation', but 
without that set, you'd get the undesirable behavior.

There's probably some stuff wrong with this approach - let me know.  I'm new to 
both elisp programming and the org-mode code.

I also created a little utility function 'org-prefixify', not sure whether 
that's kosher or not.  One change that would be nice to make to it is to avoid 
prefixing the final line if it's blank, but I couldn't get that to work.  Also 
- could that essentially be replaced by a call to string-insert-rectangle?

Subject: [PATCH] Change the edit-src-save code so that it either preserves
 original formatting, or imposes its new indentation, but
 not both.
