+<div class="para"><p>Because text conversion can be slow, especially when doing a

+large number of them with <tt>git log -p</tt>, git provides a mechanism

+to cache the output and use it in future diffs.  To enable

+caching, set the "cachetextconv" variable in your diff driver's

+config. For example:</p></div>

+<div class="listingblock">

+<div class="content">

+<pre><tt>[diff "jpg"]

+        textconv = exif

+        cachetextconv = true</tt></pre>

+</div></div>

+<div class="para"><p>This will cache the result of running "exif" on each blob

+indefinitely. If you change the textconv config variable for a

+diff driver, git will automatically invalidate the cache entries

+and re-run the textconv filter. If you want to invalidate the

+cache manually (e.g., because your version of "exif" was updated

+and now produces better output), you can remove the cache

+manually with <tt>git update-ref -d refs/notes/textconv/jpg</tt> (where

+"jpg" is the name of the diff driver, as in the example above).</p></div>
