I agree that it would be nice for "git check-attr" to handle this case.
 Currently, I believe that one has to resort to a temporary index file
via something like

    (
        export GIT_INDEX_FILE="$(mktemp)"
        git read-tree HEAD
        git check-attr --cached ...
        rm "$GIT_INDEX_FILE"
    )
