3. why specify seperate clean/smudge programs instead of just one
script with a read/write parameter?
I think the most common two ways have clean as a cleaner and
smudge as a no-op (similar to crlf=input conversion), or clean
and smudge are inverse operations (similar to crlf=true
conversion. I do not see a sane case where clean and smudge are
the same, unless you are thinking about the toy demonstration
test piece I added to t0021 which uses rot13 as both clean and
smudge filters.
actually, I'm thinking of much more complicated filters, where it's easier to
have one program do both functions then it is to have two seperate programs
(like tar -c /tar -x)
Just specify the same program in both entries with the appropriate
parameter and be happy.
It is much easier to have two entries with the same program than having
only one entry when you actually have two separate programs.
agreed, this is why I said that this was a fairly minor thing.
