help with cvsimport

Hi,

I unfortunately have to work with several cvs-repositories and was
wondering if there was a way to have the files processed on import:
- strip trailing whitespace
- convert to newline-only line endings

Knowing git there probably is already a way to do that - I'd appreciate any rtfm-pointers ...

Many thanks in advance

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.

Thanks, will try that out. Tough I'm not very happy about having to create an extra branch for every branch I want to work with. And a git-solution would also respect git-attributes ...
