Thanks, this is really cool.  I'll try it next time I'm messing with
our repositories (this week is unfortunately a bit too busy).

Do you think git would benefit from having a generalized version of
this script?  Basically, the user provides a "munge" script on the
command line, and there's a git-filter-branch mode for auto-munging
(with a cache) every file in every checkin.  Even if it's *only* ever
used for CRLF, I can imagine this being useful to a lot of people.

Thanks,
