Why?

The new "mode" parameter does not seem to be used in this function
at all.

It appears to me that you are forcing the caller to tell this
function if the path is a directory, but in the attribute system,
the caller does not necessarily know if the path it is passing is
meant to be a directory or a regular file.  "check-attr" is meant to
be usable against a path that does not even exist on the working
tree, so using stat() or lstat() in it is not a solution.  In other
words, it is unfair (read: unworkable) to force it to append a
trailing slash after the path it calls this function with.

Thank you for your comments. Changing the whole attr.h interface header
is definitely not a good option, but at some point, we may need more information
on the path to be able to match a path pattern against it.


If you are interested in export-subst, all is not lost, though:

	$ git init
         $ mkdir a
         $ >a/b
         $ echo a export-ignore >.gitattributes
         $ git add a/b .gitattributes
	$ git commit -m initial
         $ git archive HEAD | tar tf -
         .gitattributes
         $ exit

You could change the "echo" to

	$ echo "a/*" export-ignore >.gitattributes

as well, but it seems to create an useless empty directory "a/" in
the output, which I think is an unrelated bug in "git archive".

This is quite different from the pattern matching documented for gitignore.

Moreover,

 $ mkdir -p not-ignored-dir/ignored-dir
 $ echo test >not-ignored-dir/ignored-dir/ignored
 $ echo 'ignored-dir/*' >.gitattributes
 $ git add not-ignored-dir .gitattributes
 $ git commit -m '.'
 $ git archive HEAD | tar tf -
.gitattributes
not-ignored-dir/
not-ignored-dir/ignored-dir/
not-ignored-dir/ignored-dir/ignored



This patch seems to be based on a stale codebase.
Sorry. I thought the patch submissions had to be based on the 'maint' branch.

   I do not think
I'd be opposed to change the sementics to allow the callers that
know that a path is a directory to optionally pass mode parameter by
ending the pathname with slash (in other words, have "git
check-attr" ask about a directory 'a' by saying "git check-attr
export-subst a/", and lose the "mode" argument in this patch), or
keep the "mode" parameter and instead allow "git check-attr" to ask
about a directory that does not exist in the working tree by a more
explicit "git check-attr --directory export-ignore a" or something.
Such an enhancement should be done on top of the current codebase.

OK. I like the idea of proposing a path ending with '/' when it is meant to be directory. This would not change the interface attr.h . I will rework with this idea.

Thank you.
