Hi Jon,

I've applied your patch to the latest git sources, and it compiles, but 
I'm not quite sure how to
invoke the command. I've setup GIT_* env. variables, and 
git-convert-objects needs a sha1 identifier.
I've tried passing "HEAD", and some other commit id's, but they don't 
seem to make any difference.
Am I doing things right ? How exactly do I invoke the command to clean 
up the commit messages ?

At least I don't get any error messages.
