a safer one:

xargs -0 -I: <<'EOF' git config --file ~/.gitconfig alias.wsfix :
!
. "$(git --exec-path)"/git-sh-setup
if git-diff --quiet --exit-code; then
    if git diff --cached --check >/dev/null; then
        exit 0;
    fi
    echo fixing
    git diff --cached > $GIT_DIR/wsfix.diff
    git apply -R $GIT_DIR/wsfix.diff
    git apply --whitespace=fix $GIT_DIR/wsfix.diff
    rm -f $GIT_DIR/wsfix.diff
else
    echo wokring tree is dirty\!
fi
EOF
