I'm CC'ing a couple people who replied to the thread I referenced
earlier, in case they're interested and would otherwise miss this
message.

Especially Marc Weber, who expressed interest in having a good
solution to this problem. Does this address what you wanted? I like it
because it allows you to transparently and automatically enforce style
policy and:

  - it doesn't require modifying git,
  - it's efficient (no overhead except on commit),
  - it doesn't pretend to be a clean/smudge filter (as people pointed
out this isn't reversible),
  - it's portable: everything's written in sh and perl.
