blame,cat-file: Demonstrate --textconv is wrongly running converter on symlinks
git blame --textconv is wrongly calling the textconv filter on
symlinks: symlinks are stored as blobs whose content is the target of
the link, and blame calls the textconv filter on a temporary file
filled-in with the content of this blob.
For example:
$ git blame -C -C regular-file.pdf
Error: May not be a PDF file (continuing anyway)
Error: PDF file is damaged - attempting to reconstruct xref table...
Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary
Error: Couldn't read xref table
Warning: program returned non-zero exit code #1
fatal: unable to read files to diff
That errors come from pdftotext run on symlink.pdf being extracted to
/tmp/ with one-line plain-text content pointing to link destination.
So several failures are demonstrated here:
- git cat-file --textconv :symlink.bin # also HEAD:symlink.bin
- git blame --textconv symlink.bin
- git blame -C -C --textconv regular-file # but also looks on symlink.bin
At present they all fail with something like.
E: /tmp/j3ELEs_symlink.bin is not "binary" file
NOTE: git diff doesn't try to textconv the pathnames, it runs the
textual diff without textconv, which is the expected behavior.
