In case I'm doing something wrong, here's a script that shows the
problem that I have:

  #!/bin/sh
  rm -rf /tmp/test
  mkdir /tmp/test
  cd /tmp/test
  mkdir t
  cd t
  git init > /dev/null
  echo "Blah" > foo
  echo "foo x=y" > .gitattributes
  git add foo .gitattributes
  git commit -m "stuff" > /dev/null
  echo -n "check-attr in a working directory: "
  git check-attr x foo
  cd ..
  git clone --bare t > /dev/null
  cd t.git
  git read-tree --reset -i master
  echo -n "check-attr in a bare repository:   "
  git check-attr x foo

-- 
          ((lambda (x) (x x)) (lambda (x) (x x)))          Eli Barzilay:
