You don't need an intermediate file here, do you? Without it, this textconv 
script is a one-liner; now, isn't it possible to configure a shell command as 
textconv command, i.e., without this helper script?

Do you need a hard link? Can't you just copy the file at the right time?

It would be nice if you could write this like, e.g.,

	git blame --no-textconv one.bin >blame &&
	find_blame Number2 <blame >result

so that the git command is not part of a pipeline (otherwise, unexpected exit 
codes would go undetected).

Please look for missing '&&', you forgot it in many places.
