From: Christopher Hardage All,
I am seeking a comprehensive list of git commands that provoke clean and/or smudge. I know that git add does so during git checkout (smudge filter) and during git add (clean filter) from pages 342-344 in Scott Chacon's “Pro Git.” I have surmised that git status also runs the clean filter. After much Googling, I cannot find a single reference that gives a comprehensive list of which commands provoke these filters. Does someone know of one, or perhaps have better Google-fu and can point me to the right resource? Thanks! Christopher Hardage In general (AFAIUI) they are always used whenever data is moved between the worktree (file system) and the repository (object store and index). I think that one of the cat-file style commands will do an explicit binary output. However, as a wider question: Why do you need to know?, is there a bigger problem that you are trying to solve, an XY Problem (http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/66377/what-is-the-xy-problem; http://xyproblem.info/) -- Philip -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
