If you want to use cvsimport incrementally, I'd rather not process the "origin" branch like this, but rather use git-filter-branch (with a simple index filter) to do that.

Even if you do not want to use it incrementally, it seems easier and cleaner (if somewhat slower) to me.

So, something like

	git filter-branch --index-filter 'git ls-files |
		while read name; do
			perl -pi -e "s/[ \009\015]*$//" "$name"
		done
		git add -u' cleaned-up-origin

should do.
