Re: [PATCH] convert filter: supply path to external driver

Filtering to support keyword expansion may need the name of
the file being filtered.  In particular, to support p4 keywords
like

    $File: //depot/product/dir/script.sh $

the smudge filter needs to know the name of the file it is
smudging.

Add a "%s" conversion specifier to the gitattribute for filter.
It will be expanded with the path name to the file when invoking
the external filter command.

What happens if there are any shell special characters in the path name
(or spaces, for that matter). Does this shell-escape the substituted path
name anywhere in the call chain?
