How could there be a conflict if you can't make local changes because you can't represent the attributes locally/natively? > 2. git is a series of snapshots, what does it mean to 'stay unchanged'? In simple terms, let (content,A,B) be an object with content "content" and extended attributes A,B, and B cannot be represented locally, but a new object is committed with a change to attribute A (content2,A2), then the result is (content2,A2,B), as B simply comes from the (corresponding object of the) parent.
