Oookay, I suppose...

What happened to this part that avoids showing nonsense for unmerged
paths?

I am not sure about this part that cares about the textconv.

Wouldn't the normal "git diff A B" skip the filepair that are
unmodified in the first place at the object name level without even
looking at the contents (see e.g. diff_flush_patch())?

Shouldn't this part of the code emulating that behaviour no matter
what textconv filter(s) are configured for these paths?
