Subject: .gitattributes lookup doesn't respect GIT_WORK_TREE
Date: Sun, 15 Apr 2018 21:04:36 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <877ep8p9yz.fsf@linux-m68k.org> (raw)
The functions in attr.c do not look at $GIT_WORK_TREE when trying to
find the .gitattributes file. Thus if you are not inside the work tree,
but have GIT_WORK_TREE set attribute lookup will be wrong.
Password Store <http://www.passwordstore.org/> is using this feature
when the password store is a git repository. It sets up a diff
attribute that decrypts the contents, but that works only if the command
is issued while inside the repository.
Andreas.
