In other words, instead of trying to be consistent by erroring out

for all "not filtered" cases, whether it is run from the batch mode
or from the command line.

 		if (convert_to_working_tree(path, *buf, *size, &strbuf)) {
 			free(*buf);

Yes, that makes most sense to me, too.

Alright; will squash it in then before merging it down to 'next'.
