If you start from "textconv is about mangling blob contents", then it would look natural to you that "show <blob>", "diff A B", and "grep <pattern> <blob>" would all first mangle the blob contents using textconv and then work on them. But diff.<driver>.textconv is to mangle blob contents in preparation for comparing with another. That is why you explicitly ask "cat-file --textconv" to use the same mangling even when you are not comparing it with anything else. -- 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
