Okay, tested these now. I noticed two tiny issues unrelated to this
series, but rather since this is the first time I've used textconv.

1. The temporary path git generates loses the original file extension.
At least in the case of Mac OS X, ibtool gets angry when the ".xib"
isn' there. I worked around this with a wrapper, but maybe git could
preserve the extension.

2. It's not really clear to me when one should use textconv vs a
custom diff driver. (Also, --no-textconv isn't documented...).

Thanks,

j.
