Recall that MSYS bash converts POSIX style absolute paths to Windows style
absolute paths. Unfortunately, it converts a program argument that begins
with a double-quote and otherwise looks like an absolute POSIX path, but
in doing so, it strips everything past the second double-quote[*]. This
case is triggered in the two test scripts. The work-around is to place the
Windows style path returned by $(pwd) between the quotes to avoid the path
conversion.
[*] It is already bogus that a conversion is even considered when a program
argument begins with a double-quote because it cannot be an absolute POSIX
path.

Currently textconv helpers are run directly. Running through
the shell is useful because the user can provide a program
with command line arguments, like "antiword -f".
It also makes textconv more consistent with other parts of
git, most of which run their helpers using the shell.
The downside is that textconv helpers with shell
metacharacters (like space) in the filename will be broken.

When I tweaked the patch to use $SHELL_PATH instead of a hard-coded
"#!/bin/sh" to produce 3aa1f7c (diff: respect textconv in rewrite diffs,
2008-12-09), I screwed up. This should fix it.

Currently we just skip rewrite diffs for binary files; this
patch makes an exception for files which will be textconv'd,
and actually performs the textconv before generating the
diff.
Conceptually, rewrite diffs should be in the exact same
format as the a non-rewrite diff, except that we refuse to
share any context. Thus it makes very little sense for "git
diff" to show a textconv'd diff, but for "git diff -B" to
show "Binary files differ".

The current emit_rewrite_diff code always writes a text patch without
checking whether the content is binary. This means that if you end up with
a rewrite diff for a binary file, you get lots of raw binary goo in your
patch.
Instead, if we have binary files, then let's just skip emit_rewrite_diff
altogether. We will already have shown the "dissimilarity index" line, so
it is really about the diff contents. If binary diffs are turned off, the
"Binary files a/file and b/file differ" message should be the same in
either case. If we do have binary patches turned on, there isn't much
point in making a less-efficient binary patch that does a total rewrite;
no human is going to read it, and since binary patches don't apply with
any fuzz anyway, the result of application should be the same.
