But this is really hard to solve. We would need to compare
attributes before and after for _all_ files that have attributes
in one of the two commits and check if they changed. If so, we
need to do a fresh checkout according to the new attributes.
if you know that you will get the new .gitattributes if it changes, setup a post-checkout hook to checkout everything if it has changed. it's far from ideal, but it should be a good, safe, first approximation.


That's not good enough. I'll stop using .gitattributes. I
need to teach >40 devs how to use git on Windows. I only use
features that work flawlessly. .gitattributes doesn't. It bit
me twice now.

why would checking everything out if .gitattributes has changed not work? I can see why _not_ doing so would cause problems, and I freely acknowledge that this approach imposes a performance hit by checking everything out twice, but I don't see how it would not be reliable.

What do you mean by "checking out everything"?
Which command do you propose?
