I've copied the gdb one and updated it for our tree:

$ cat .dir-locals.el

I've tested it to ensure everything works as expected, except I didn't see 
exactly how to test the bug-reference…  If someone knows how to test that, I'd 
appreciate it.  If I understand the net result of this, it should make the 
lives of people that work on multiple trees with different formatting easier.

Thanks guys.

Now, if you've been manually fidgeting with tab characters, you should be able 
to just hit tab on the line your editing and have it do the right thing (if 
your emacs isn't really old).
