How about this: If I run 'git show -- foo.doc' (foo.doc resolves to a
single path, obviously), I want MS Word, but for other uses of 'git show'
I don't. I think that heuristics could be very effective: With a plain
'git show' I get the overview of the change, and with 'git show --
foo.doc' I drill down into a single document.
Or this: 'git show -p' uses the textconv'd version, 'git show' does not
("Binary files differ").
BTW, also with 'git diff' I sometimes don't want MS Word to pop up...
