Tab 8 encourages to make less "structural nesting" like foreach( if ( foreach ( if () ) ) ) in one method, because such lines would become too long. Instead there will be large amount of smaller functions / methods. But there should be the middle balance between "large method which does a lot" and "lots of extremly tiny methods nested calls". Perhaps Tab 4, I do not know.
Personally, I think if changing tab widths causes you to change your code *functionally*, you're putting wayyyy too much thought into how pretty your code is. Code should be legible, but not at the expense of writing good code to begin with.
Anyway, as I said earlier--we're not going to hack Gerrit just to change this, so this thread is really going nowhere.
