Hi ,
I know that git can cope with file's chmod. But how about
setfattr? I have tried to set some extensional attribute with command
:
####
setfattr -n user.t1 -v 1 testfile.txt
####
It seems like git cannot detect it. So do I need some config option
for git? Or doesn't it have this feature?
Thanks very much.
Wang

No, Git doesn't support extended attributes natively. In fact, the only
modes that Git stores are the file type and the executable bit.
If you need to store this information, you could either have it
recreated by running, say, a Makefile, or you could see if the filter
functionality of .gitattributes does what you want.
