>From config.txt:
- 'clean' is "The command which is used to convert the content of a
worktree file to a blob upon checkin".
- 'smudge' is "The command which is used to convert the content of a
blob object to a worktree file upon checkout."

According to the documentation, 'smudge' is *supposed* to be invoked
on a clone/ pull, since it involves a checkout.  I don't see how you
can avoid running these filters on every checkin/ checkout unless you
cache the result somewhere.
