During my day-to-day UGFWIINIT I noticed that we don't do textconv iteratively. E.g.: I have a file SuperSecretButDumbFormat.pdf.gpg and textconv filters with attributes set for *.gpg and *.pdf (using "gpg" resp. "pdftotext"). For Git, the file has only the "gpg" attribute, of course. In this case, I would have wanted to pass the gpg output through pdftotext. Now, I can set up an extra filter "gpgtopdftotext" for *.pdf.gpg (hoping I get the ordering in .gitattributes right), of course, but wondering whether we could and should support concatenating filters by either - making it easy to request it (say by setting "filter.gpgtopdftotext.textconvpipe" to a list of textconv filter names which are to be applied in sequence) or - doing it automatically (remove the pattern which triggered the filter, and apply attributes again to the resulting pathspec) Maybe it's just not worth the effort. Or a nice GSoC project ;) Michael -- 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
