This version of the patch series fixes a formatting problem found by Junio and mentions in the documentation that "-a" means the same as "--all". Currently it is possible to inquire the values of particular attributes on particular files, using either the API function git_checkattr() or the command "git check-attr". But it is not possible to ask for *all* attributes that are associated with a particular file. This patch series adds that functionality: * A new API call git_allattr() * A new option "git check-attr --all -- pathnames" Along the way, several small cleanups are made in the general neighborhood, including: * Disallow the empty string as an attribute name * Provide access to the name attribute of git_attr * Fail with an error message if no pathnames are provided on the command line (and --stdin is not used) * If --stdin is used, interpret all command-line arguments as attribute names * Rename struct git_attr_check to git_attr_value Most of the patches are hopefully self-explanatory; see the individual patch emails for discussion of changes that might potentially be controversial.
