Or allow "daemon" > or "server" value for `persistent`, then? I like the direction of this idea. What if we use a string-valued "filter.<driver>.protocol" with the following options: "simple" / "invocation-per-file" / << empty >> --> current clean/smudge behavior "invocation-per-process" --> new, proposed behavior If necessary this could be enhanced in the future to support even a "daemon" mode (with a pidfile config).
