Description

I noticed that nothing in Rugged::Blob makes any attempt to convert blob text to the filtered output via .gitattributes (e.g. CRLF output). In libgit2, I see calls to git_blob_filtered_content(), but it does not appear to be used anywhere Rugged.

Is there a reason this isn't supported, or is this just something I can add?

Research direction

Start at the Rugged::Blob blob-retrieval path and compare it with libgit2's git_blob_filtered_content() usage in tests/filter/blob.c. Determine the project’s expected behavior for .gitattributes filters, then verify that filtered output is returned for the relevant blob cases.
