15DESCRIPTION
16-----------
17
18Read text, such as commit messages, notes, tags and branch
19descriptions, from the standard input and clean it in the manner
20used by Git.
21
22With no arguments, this will:
23
24- remove trailing whitespace from all lines
25- collapse multiple consecutive empty lines into one empty line
26- remove empty lines from the beginning and end of the input
27- add a missing '\n' to the last line if necessary.
28
29In the case where the input consists entirely of whitespace characters, no
30output will be produced.
31
32*NOTE*: This is intended for cleaning metadata. Prefer the `--whitespace=fix`
33mode of linkgit:git-apply[1] for correcting whitespace of patches or files in
34the repository.
