Re: Is the textconv filter called for each line ? or once for the file ?

Hi all,

Something I need clarification please :

In the documentation on gitattributes, it is said :

"A textconv, by comparison, is much more limiting. You provide a transformation
of the data into a line-oriented text format, and git uses its regular diff 
tools to generate the output."

Does it mean that the textconv filter is called for each line ?

No. What would "for each line" mean, since textconv is essentially meant
to be called on binary files?
