I think that "git checkout -f test.perl" should work, forcing git to
replace existing file.

As to clone problem: it might be chicken and egg problem, with `ident`
filter needing .gitattribites in working directory during checkout
phase (currently there is no way to use gitattributes from a tree in
repository), and checkout writing this file.
