#!/bin/bash

##
## The cleanup-commit script
## -------------------------
## This little script will cleanup your commit before you send it. You need to add the files to the staged area and
## run this script. It will automatically cleanup tabs and trailing spaces for the files you added and then add the
## clean versions to the staging area.
##
## Use at your own risk, I spent some time making the script error-proof so it will abort if sees any inconsistency,
## but of course playing around with your commit might break things. Btw, it saves the original file to file.bak.
##
## Happy hacking!
