Tested on latest maint and master.

The 'export-ignore' gitattribute is documented as behaving on a pattern=
, just=20
like in .gitignore.

In repo where I have a tree like this:

=2Egitattributes
figures/
fr/figures/

I want to remove from archive all the figures directories. So I added=20

figures/ export-ignore=20

to the top level .gitattributes file.

but then:

$  git check-attr -a fr/figures
$  git check-attr -a figures
$

If I change the line in .gitattributes to :

figures export-ignore

I get the correct result, but I am not sure to exclude only directories=
=2E

Am I wrong somewhere?

Thank you.
