+--no-textconv::
+ Allow (or disallow) external text conversion filters to be run
+ when comparing binary files. See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for
+ details. Because textconv filters are typically a one-way
+ conversion, the resulting diff is suitable for human

+ linkgit:git-log[1], but not for linkgit:git-format-patch[1] or
