I used "--stdin-paths" because git hash-object uses it, while "--stdin"
means to read the object from standard input. OTOH, we are never going
to read the object from standard input in check-attr and some other git
commands use "--stdin" to mean: read the list of paths from the standard
input. So, I fully agree here.

I have added it, but after I did, I start to wonder whether it is the
right thing to do to unquote NUL terminated input line?
NUL terminated makes sense when you feed raw-bytes, and if the first
byte happen to be a quote character, I suppose it should be treated
just as any other byte, not as a sign that the string is quited. But
then I looked at git checkout-index, and it unquotes string even if it
is NUL terminated. I don't think it is the right thing to do, but just
to be consistent, I have decided to leave as-is, i.e. to unquote a NUL
terminated string.

As far as I can tell, there is no test case for special characters in
filenames when these filenames are given as arguments. And there are a
few problems with them. First, it is using colon as a separator in
output, which breaks parsing of a filename containing colons. Second,
I still have not figured out how to specify filenames with special
characters in gitattributes. The documentation does not say anything
and was lazy to study the code. Does gitattributes understand quote
strings in filenames?
Anyway, here is interdiff to my previous patch, which addresses two
first points as I described above. (I can resend the full patch if
necessary).
