I don't exactly understand why this would be necessary. >From config.txt: - 'clean' is "The command which is used to convert the content of a worktree file to a blob upon checkin". - 'smudge' is "The command which is used to convert the content of a blob object to a worktree file upon checkout." According to the documentation, 'smudge' is *supposed* to be invoked on a clone/ pull, since it involves a checkout. I don't see how you can avoid running these filters on every checkin/ checkout unless you cache the result somewhere. -- Ram -- 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
