I think it is even more complex than that. Sometimes when doing "git show" I want to see the textconv'd version, and sometimes I don't. So I really want a command-line flag or environment variable that I can use to control it (with a sane default). So probably the way forward is to stop relying on "oh, we just didn't parse some of the config, so it won't get used" to just parsing the config all the time and having a diffopt for "do textconv, do external diff, etc". And then plumbing can make sure that those flags never get set, and porcelain can tie them to command-line options. -Peff -- 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
