Can't push to `wip/...` branches because of pre-commit check

I made some edits on my wip/rae branch and tried to push to the remote wip/rae branch. But I see this:

11:42:05 ~/Documents/Programming/ghc-cur> git push -u origin wip/rae --force

remote: performing tab-check...
remote: Error: you may not add a line containing a tab to these tab-free files:
remote: 	testsuite/tests/rename/should_fail/Makefile
To ssh://git@git.haskell.org/ghc.git
 ! [remote rejected] wip/rae -> wip/rae (pre-receive hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://git@git.haskell.org/ghc.git'

There are two problems here:

  1. I didn't change testsuite/tests/rename/should_fail/Makefile!
  2. Makefiles like having tabs in them.
