Recently I've spot a bug in git blame --textconv, which was wrongly
calling pdftotext (my *.pdf conversion program) on a symlink.pdf, and I
was getting something like
$ git blame -C -C regular-file.pdf
Error: May not be a PDF file (continuing anyway)
Error: PDF file is damaged - attempting to reconstruct xref table...
Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary
Error: Couldn't read xref table
Warning: program returned non-zero exit code #1
fatal: unable to read files to diff
That errors come from pdftotext run on symlink.pdf being extracted to
/tmp/ with one-line plain-text content pointing to link destination.
Please apply and thanks,
Kirill
