Re: [BUG] git gui blame fails for multi-word textconv filter

I wonder if spaces can be the reason of this. Looks like Tcl is
looking for an executable called "run-mailcap --action=cat", and
doesn't distinguish path from options.

Yes, and it does this because we asked it to do so. Whitespace
interpretation is done by the shell, and there's no shell involved
here.

I do not have much experience with Tcl, so I can't figure out how to
solve that. Some help would be appreciate :-)

Patch follows. It just runs the textconv using a shell, which does
whitespace interpretation (and more if needed). Tested with

textconv=odt2txt --width=40

and a file containing whitespaces.
