That makes sense to me, as I do not think the empty filter name can
possibly do anything useful. You omitted the real motivation here, but I
know what it is from past discussions: you want to be able to
temporarily disable a filter with "git -c filter.foo.clean= ...". Which
I think makes it more immediately obvious that this is a useful thing to
have, and not just user error.

This catches two calls, but I think there are others. What about
would_convert_to_git_filter_fd and convert_to_git_filter_fd?
Would it make more sense for apply_filter() to treat the empty string as
a noop, just as it does for NULL?
I.e.:
diff --git a/convert.c b/convert.c
index 814e814..02d5f1e 100644
--- a/convert.c
+++ b/convert.c
@@ -395,7 +395,7 @@ static int apply_filter(const char *path, const char *src,
size_t len, int fd,
struct async async;
struct filter_params params;
- if (!cmd)
+ if (!cmd || !*cmd)
return 0;
if (!dst)
which I think would cover all callers?
