Thanks for the suggestion, that appears to be what I was looking for. It's my first time looking around Git's test framework, so I had a scan of the docs but managed to miss that one. I'd be happy to submit a patch adding those tests if you'd like. Though I would like to just confirm that in the patch I shared it is not a bug that: git ls-files ":(attr:otherLabel)sub/" >actual && test_must_be_empty actual I.e. that no files are listed here even tough `sub/fileSetLabel` has the attribute `otherLabel`?
