Re: [PATCH] git-gui: use textconv filter for diff and blame

This looks generally fine but can you suggest some test that I can use
to ensure it is actually doing something. I tried committing some test
files containing cyrillic characters but I see no difference between
using an unpatched git-gui and your patched version with git 1.7.2

textconv has not much to do with encoding. It's a way to tell git the
name of a command that converts a file into plain text. Typical usages
would be to use odt2txt, catdoc/antiword, or meta-information
extraction (like exiftags).

Have a look here:
