Re: [git-users] Which git commands provoke clean and/or smudge?

I was reading "Pro Git" and it occurred to me that Mr. Chacon only mentions the checkout and add commands with respect to smudge and clean. Based on my own observations, I have concluded status does too. I was curious as to which others did, and after Googling around and finding very little, I thought I'd ask. Just trying to understand the internals better... Thanks!

Re: [git-users] Which git commands provoke clean and/or smudge?
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.

I'm afraid, the right resource is the Git source code [1]. You can start with convert.h which defines the internal API used by the code implementing various Git commands to filter blobs. Basically, the idea that any command whose implementation calls out to any of these functions is susceptible to using filters. 1. https://github.com/git/git -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
