[RFC-PATCHv6 0/4] pathspec attrs [WAS pathspec labels [WAS submodule groups]]

[Stefan Beller <sbeller@google.com>]

  This goes on top of origin/jc/attr and is RFC as
  I did not write tests nor documentation, yet.
  I wanted to understand Junios series, so I built on top.
  
The meat is in the last patch, which allows for

    git ls-files :(attr:-text)path/pattern       # (ATTR_FALSE)
    git ls-files :(attr:+text)path/pattern       # (ATTR_TRUE)
    git ls-files :(attr:eol=input)path/pattern   # values must match
    
    git ls-files :(attr:!text)path/pattern       # find patterns with no "text" attribute, i.e. neither FALSE, TRUE or value
    git ls-files :(attr:text)path/pattern        # opposite of !;  find files which are TRUE, FALSE or value
  
Of course you can chain them:

    git ls-files :(attr:text,attr:eol=lf)path/pattern # must match both attr specs.
    
Feedback on the parsing and design welcome,

Thanks,
Stefan
