Re: [PATCH 4/7] textconv: don't convert for every operation

Another place that would benefit from ALLOW_TEXTCONV is the function
wt_status_print_verbose() in wt-status.c, where we generate preview diff
for "git commit -v".  The output from that function is purely for human
consumption and does not have to be applicable.

I agree, but it turned out not to be as straightforward as I had hoped,
since status doesn't even parse diff.* config.  See patches 7 and 8 in
the series I just posted.
