The change to do so looks like this; it has a few side effects:
- If somebody else were relying on the fact that 'nkf -w' names the
entire command, it now will run 'nkf' command with '-w' as an argument,
and it will break such a set-up. IOW, command that has an IFS white
space in its path will now need to be quoted from the shell.
You can see the fallout from this in the damage made to t/ hierarchy in
the attached patch.
- You can now use $HOME and other environment variables your shell
expands when defining your textconv command.
Overall I think it is a good direction to go, but we need to be careful
about how we transition the existing repositories that use the old
semantics.
We might need to introduce diff.*.xtextconv or something.
