Hi everyone,

I created a clean filter to apply on some files before commiting them.
The filter works correctly when I commit the file and is also applied
when I usethe iff command line tool.
However, when using difftool with meld, the filter is not applied and
the different versions of the files are compared without any
filtering.

Is there a way to apply the clean/smudge filters when comparing the
working copy of a file to the HEAD version in a gui diff tool?

I'm using git version 2.4.3 under Ubuntu.

Best,
Florian
