Subject: Question on textconv
Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2026 14:44:22 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <017e01dd2441$476839f0$d638add0$@nexbridge.com> (raw)

I experienced a change in how textconv works since about 2.50 and it is hard
to get past. I would appreciate advice:

When I define an external binary textconv, roughly like:

.gitattributes:
simple binary diff=enscr

.gitconfig
[diff "enscr"]
        textconv = run -debug ../../enscribe-conv --verbose
        binary = true

The supplied file going to the textconv program looks like
/tmp/git-blob-GFtIhK/simple
and is always empty regardless of the file contents.

When there is only one file named simple in the repository I can find it,
but otherwise
any ambiguity in the name makes textconv processing impractical. Somewhere
prior to this
I was supplied with the actual file in the working index instead of a temp
file.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Randall
