/**
* 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(&the_index, 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()`.
