Re: [PATCH v3 0/4] git-gui blame: use textconv

I don't think these users would really get hurt: they could still use
git gui blame on text files, and they would anyway not have obtained
anything sensible from "git gui blame binary-file". In the very
unlikely case where a user has a textconv filter activated for a file
which can be viewed as text too, there's a checkbox to disable
textconv provided by Clément's patch.
