That is not true. The indentation style is: http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html#Formatting (though, some parts of gcc, e.g. libstdc++, use slightly different indentation/formatting style). The above also mentions particular options for GNU indent which set various rules. -i2 means indentation is by 2 spaces, and the lack of -nut and -tsN options means that tab size is 8 columns and that in the indentation every 8 spaces should be replaced by a tab.
