Actually, you can't textconv from the worktree, but you can from the index, saying git cat-file --textconv :path/to/file (the :<path> syntax is not specific here, you can use it in other Git commands) > +--textconv:: > + Show the content as transformed by a textconv filter.

Also, I prefer <treeish>:<path> to <treeish:path>, to make it clear the : is actually a :. What about this: --textconv:: Show the content as transformed by a textconv filter. In this case, <object> has be of the form <treeish>:<path>, or :<path> to run the filter on the file <path> stored in the index. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
