[BUG, PATCH 0/3] Fix {blame,cat-file} --textconv for cases with symlinks

Recently I've spot a bug in git blame --textconv, which was wrongly calling pdftotext (my *.pdf conversion program) on a symlink.pdf, and I was getting something like

    $ git blame -C -C regular-file.pdf
    Error: May not be a PDF file (continuing anyway)
    Error: PDF file is damaged - attempting to reconstruct xref table...
    Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary
    Error: Couldn't read xref table
    Warning: program returned non-zero exit code #1
    fatal: unable to read files to diff

That errors come from pdftotext run on symlink.pdf being extracted to /tmp/ with one-line plain-text content pointing to link destination.

First 2 patches demonstrate the problem (and are ready to go into git.git), though third, while working for me, is only an RFC.

Thanks, Kirill
