Hi,

It seems the command "git log --no-textconv -Sfoo" still runs the textconv filter (noticed because I have a broken textconv filter that lets "git log -S" error out).

Steps to reproduce:

Create a repo with *.txt file(s) in it $ echo '*.txt diff=wrong' > .gitattributes

An incorrect textconv filter errors out as expected:

$ git -c diff.wrong.textconv='xxx' log -Sfoo error: cannot run xxx: No such file or directory fatal: unable to read files to diff

but --no-textconv has no effect:

$ git -c diff.wrong.textconv='xxx' log --no-textconv -Sfoo error: cannot run xxx: No such file or directory fatal: unable to read files to diff
