I was wondering if it's possible to removing leading and trailing
whitespace (tabs, newlines, spaces) from commit messages when importing
from Subversion via git-svn.

I've got a repository with tens of thousands of commits, and not all of
the messages are entered... sanely.  I need to know whether it is
possible to clean these up when transfering the repository to Git.


Thanks.
