I haven't checked the script, but "git-apply --whitespace=strip"
can be used to do pretty much the same job with this sequence,
except the last one (do it with a copy of repository if you do
not want "git clean -x" to lose untracked):
$ git checkout master
$ rm -f .git/index
$ git checkout HEAD -- t/
$ git clean -x -d
$ git diff -R --binary HEAD >P.diff
$ git apply --index --whitespace=strip P.diff
Then you can check the results, and make a commit.
In the above I explicitly "saved" t/ because we have some test
vectors that need to have trailing whitespaces.
