Well, git-stripspace actually does something slightly differently, in that it also removes extraneous all-whitespace lines from the beginning, the end, and the middle (in the middle, the rule is: two or more empty lines are collapsed into one).
Ie it's a total hack for parsing just commit messages (and it is in C, because I can personally write 25 lines of C in about a millionth of the time I can write 3 lines of perl).
