Thinking about the reason _why_ .gitattributes may be updated, one would notice that it is because somebody did this command sequence: git checkout ;# now work tree is clean edit .gitattributes ;# modify the attributes of a file edit file ;# edit the file attributes talks about git add file ;# this can be affected by .gitattributes git add .gitattributes ;# this is changed in the same commit git commit Now, should we always take .gitattributes from the index? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
