Re: Giving command line parameter to textconv command?

Jeff King [off-list ref] writes:

[1] The current textconv interface is really nice for things like just
using "antiword" out of the box. But I wrote a new interface which can
be much faster: it calls the textconv filter with the blob name, and
then the filter is responsible for using cat-file to get at the blob.
This means the filter can look at only part of a blob (e.g., if we are
interested in the metadata tags at the beginning of a large media file),
and it can cache answers as it sees fit, avoiding access to the blob
entirely.

I need to polish the code a bit and submit it. Obviously this is not
meant to replace the existing textconv, but rather to supplement it, for
when "fast and inconvenient" is better than "slow and simple". What is
the best way to configure this? I can imagine "diff.*.textconvType =
fast", or also "diff.*.fastTextconv".

"diff.*.blobfilter"?
