Hi brian,

After this line:

                check = attr_check_initl("crlf", "ident", "filter",
				"eol", "text", "working-tree-encoding",
				NULL);
		user_convert_tail = &user_convert;
		git_config(read_convert_config, NULL);
	}

I am a bit worried about `user_convert`: it seems never to be re-set.

Also, how thread-safe do we need `reset_parsed_attributes()` to be?

Ciao,
