"What is recorded in the tree is unsuitable for the purpose of this
particular export, so we are xxxing using yyy", is the intended use case,
and I think the verb "fix" is a good fit there in "xxx" part.  "Tweak"
would also work well.

Your suggestion is to say "attributes from the work tree" in place of
"yyy", which also is good.

I got the impression that people tend to prefer the operation named after
what it does than how it does it, but I can go either way.
