We have > 37000 white space "errors" in HEAD, mostly trailing
whitespace, and I'm looking for a
$ git diff --check | git??? --whitespace=fix
command.
Is there such a beast?
I see that git-apply has a --whitespace=<action> option, but I don't
seem to grock how to be able to use it for fixing my working directory.
Details follow:
I can create a perl script that does this for me (e.g. inspired by
1.5.6's hooks/pre-commit's perl version of git diff --check) and post it
here if anybody would like it, but I'd rather use some well-tested
method if one exists. And it seems git-apply has the functionality somehow.
Of course, I can also:
$ git diff --check > tmpcfile
# (Or some other command to find all of them under ./)
$ vim
:cfile tmpcfile
Thank you for --check having a handy output format, BTW! But I prefer
automation (and automated auditing of the results) for 37000 lines.
Also the way I found them is like this:
$ git diff --check $(git log --pretty=format:%H | tail -1)..HEAD .
(The diff between "the empty commit" and HEAD - well between the first
commit and HEAD anyway. Is there a ref for "totally empty" or the
revision before the first commit? Or a more elegant way to get this list?)
