Has anyone got a script for git that can go through the history, check out each version, apply a cleanup script, then check the cleaned version into another repository?

I have some code which I've been developing, but I haven't been consistent with code formatting e.g. tabs vs spaces etc. I'd like to rewrite my entire history to be consistent with the new standards.
