From: Lars Schneider <larsxschneider@gmail.com>

Git's clean/smudge mechanism invokes an external filter process for every single blob that is affected by a filter. If Git filters a lot of blobs then the startup time of the external filter processes can become a significant part of the overall Git execution time.

This patch adds the filter.<driver>.useProtocol option which, if enabled, keeps the external filter process running and processes all blobs with the following protocol over stdin/stdout.

1. Git starts the filter on first usage and expects a welcome message
with protocol version number:
	Git <-- Filter: "git-filter-protocol\n"
	Git <-- Filter: "version 1"
2. Git sends the command (either "smudge" or "clean"), the filename, the
content size in bytes, and the content separated by a newline character:
	Git --> Filter: "smudge\n"
	Git --> Filter: "testfile.dat\n"
	Git --> Filter: "7\n"
	Git --> Filter: "CONTENT"
3. The filter is expected to answer with the result content size in
bytes and the result content separated by a newline character:
	Git <-- Filter: "15\n"
	Git <-- Filter: "SMUDGED_CONTENT"
4. The filter is expected to wait for the next file in step 2, again.

Please note that the protocol filters do not support stream processing with this implemenatation because the filter needs to know the length of the result in advance. A protocol version 2 could address this in a future patch.

+Filter Protocol
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+If the setting filter.<driver>.useProtocol is enabled then Git
+can process all blobs with a single filter command invocation
+by talking with the following protocol over stdin/stdout.
+
+Git starts the filter on first usage and expects a welcome
+message with protocol version number:
+------------------------
+Git < Filter: "git-filter-protocol\n"
+Git < Filter: "version 1"
+------------------------
+
+Afterwards Git sends a blob command (either "smudge" or "clean"),
+the filename, the content size in bytes, and the content separated
+by a newline character:
+------------------------
+Git > Filter: "smudge\n"
+Git > Filter: "testfile.dat\n"
+Git > Filter: "7\n"
+Git > Filter: "CONTENT"
+------------------------
+
+The filter is expected to answer with the result content size in
+bytes and the result content separated by a newline character:
+------------------------
+Git < Filter: "15\n"
+Git < Filter: "SMUDGED_CONTENT"
+------------------------
+
+Afterwards the filter is expected to wait for the next blob process
+command. A demo implementation can be found in `t/t0021/rot13.pl`
+located in the Git core repository.
