It is not a bug. The .gitattributes file in your working directory _is_ cloned, and that is the right place to put things that you want to be revision-controlled and used in every repo. The .git/info/attributes file is for attributes that are purely local to that repo. This is similar to the split between .git/info/exclude and .gitignore. Can you point out which part of the manual gave the wrong impression (or better yet, submit a patch making it more clear)? -Peff -- 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
