/**
 * gitattributes mechanism gives a uniform way to associate various attributes
 * to set of paths.
 *
 *
 * Querying Specific Attributes
 * ----------------------------
 *
 * - Prepare `struct attr_check` using attr_check_initl() function, enumerating
 *   the names of attributes whose values you are interested in, terminated with
 *   a NULL pointer.  Alternatively, an empty `struct attr_check` can be
 *   prepared by calling `attr_check_alloc()` function and then attributes you
 *   want to ask about can be added to it with `attr_check_append()` function.
 *
 * - Call `git_check_attr()` to check the attributes for the path.
 *
 * - Inspect `attr_check` structure to see how each of the attribute in the
 *   array is defined for the path.
 *
 *
 * Example
 * -------
 *
 * To see how attributes "crlf" and "ident" are set for different paths.
 *
 * - Prepare a `struct attr_check` with two elements (because we are checking
 *   two attributes):
 *
 * ------------
 * static struct attr_check *check;
 * static void setup_check(void)
 * {
 * 	if (check)
 * 		return; // already done
 * check = attr_check_initl("crlf", "ident", NULL);
 * }
 * ------------
 *
 * - Call `git_check_attr()` with the prepared `struct attr_check`:
 *
 * ------------
 * const char *path;
 *
 * setup_check();
 * git_check_attr(path, check);
 * ------------
 *
 * - Act on `.value` member of the result, left in `check->items[]`:
 *
 * ------------
 * const char *value = check->items[0].value;
 *
 * if (ATTR_TRUE(value)) {
 * The attribute is Set, by listing only the name of the
 * attribute in the gitattributes file for the path.
 * } else if (ATTR_FALSE(value)) {
 * The attribute is Unset, by listing the name of the
 *         attribute prefixed with a dash - for the path.
 * } else if (ATTR_UNSET(value)) {
 * The attribute is neither set nor unset for the path.
 * } else if (!strcmp(value, "input")) {
 * If none of ATTR_TRUE(), ATTR_FALSE(), or ATTR_UNSET() is
 *         true, the value is a string set in the gitattributes
 * file for the path by saying "attr=value".
 * } else if (... other check using value as string ...) {
 * ...
 * }
 * ------------
 *
 * To see how attributes in argv[] are set for different paths, only
 * the first step in the above would be different.
 *
 * ------------
 * static struct attr_check *check;
 * static void setup_check(const char **argv)
 * {
 *     check = attr_check_alloc();
 *     while (*argv) {
 *         struct git_attr *attr = git_attr(*argv);
 *         attr_check_append(check, attr);
 *         argv++;
 *     }
 * }
 * ------------
 *
 *
 * Querying All Attributes
 * -----------------------
 *
 * To get the values of all attributes associated with a file:
 *
 * - Prepare an empty `attr_check` structure by calling `attr_check_alloc()`.
 *
 * - Call `git_all_attrs()`, which populates the `attr_check` with the
 * attributes attached to the path.
 *
 * - Iterate over the `attr_check.items[]` array to examine the attribute
 * names and values. The name of the attribute described by an
 * `attr_check.items[]` object can be retrieved via
 * `git_attr_name(check->items[i].attr)`. (Please note that no items will be
 * returned for unset attributes, so `ATTR_UNSET()` will return false for all
 * returned `attr_check.items[]` objects.)
 *
 * - Free the `attr_check` struct by calling `attr_check_free()`.
