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.

Try "git filter-branch --msg-filter your-filter-command".

Thank you, after-the-fact works fine too. :)
If anyone else searches the archives and wonders how I did it, this sed
command is it: sed -e "s/^[ \t]*//;s/[ \t]*$//;/^$/d"
Unix rules!
