If I ask to grep the index then to me it should read only the index.
Although other people can counter that they may want different
attributes than the one stored in index, which either comes from
worktree or $GIT_DIR.

git-archive has --worktree-attributes to specify where attributes come
from. Sparse checkout can choose to read index version first then
worktree's or the other way around. All normal operations read
worktree version, if not found index version.
