I guess "git check-attr --stdin" and "git check-ignore --stdin" will
be part of the solution to your problem, but I do not know what the
other parts would be.
Feeding "ls-files" output to "check-ignore --stdin" feels sort-of
oxymoron because by definition the output from "ls-files" cannot
contain any ignored paths.
