I think that is an obvious implication of the new documentation. I was
just concerned with a regression from the previous behavior.

Ah, OK. I thought we handled "HEAD:path with spaces" there, but I see
that you cannot even specify "--textconv" with "--batch", because it
complains of the cmdmode.
So the new rule becomes "we split if we see %(rest), or --textconv, or
--filter", which is reasonable.

Yeah, I agree it is not necessary for this series (I was only
considering it as an option to fix the regression I now see doesn't
exist).
