Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be there mechanism to query about state of gitattributes at given commit. There is a slight problem from the UI point of view of git-check-attr, namely that there are _three_ pieces of information: a place to read =2Egitattributes from (working tree, index, commit), list of attributes to check (or --all) and list of files (list of paths). You can use "--" to separate _two_ pieces of information. Nb. the ability to read gitattributes from given commit would be useful also for gitweb (the `encoding` gitattribute, etc.). --=20 Jakub Nar=EAbski
