Starting from a clean checkout, you could do something like this:
$ git reset --hard
$ rm .git/index
$ git diff --binary -R HEAD >P.diff
$ git apply --whitespace=fix --cached <P.diff
$ git commit -m "Fixed all whitespace gotchas"
P.diff contains essentially everything, and you are recreating everything
from that patch.
Thanks for taking the time to answer my many mails and questions. It
really is helpful to me.
Rambling on:
Scary with the "rm .git/index"! It bascially creates an empty index it
seems... That was news to me. As a newbie I try not to meddle too much
in .git/ ...
I tried the above on git.git, and it gave:
warning: 485 lines applied after fixing whitespace errors.
I would suggest finishing the above with:
$ git checkout HEAD
otherwise, the working dir is stuck at the old unfixed state.
But like I posted earlier, I have another solution that works on
selected files. With git, there is always more than one way to do
things, it seems...
