git pre-commit: modify files in pre-commit script

Is it possible to modify changed files(I want to tidy up xmls) in git pre-commit hook script? If yes, how to do it? Now I have such script:

files=`git diff --name-only --cached`


was_xml=false
for file in $files
do
    extension="${file##*.}"
    xml="xml"
    if [ "$extension" = "$xml" ]
    then
        tmp_file=$file"_xmlint"
        echo $tmp_file >> fuck
        xmllint --format --encode utf8 $file > $tmp_file
        rm $file
        mv $tmp_file $file
        git add $file
        was_xml=true
    fi
done

if $was_xml ; then
    git commit -m 'Xml cleanup'
fi

But it doesn't work...

You probably want to look up clean and smudge ( see http://git-scm.com/book/ch7-2.html ). You could do XML reformatting during the clean phase of staging a file.
