That said, if you changed a symlink from pointing at A to pointing at B,
it does run the textual diff between the string we get from readlink(3).

Yes, and my question was to make sure we don't run the textconv filter
on these strings.

I've just checked, and from my little tests, git diff doesn't try to
textconv the pathnames, it runs the textual diff without textconv,
which is the expected behavior.

Ok, then I think it makes sense to make sure we don't run the textconv
filter on them.
