True. :) But those were the old method that tries to treat
.gitattributes specially, by using O_NOFOLLOW in the attribute code (but
only for in-tree files, naturally).
I think we ended up deciding that it would be better to just disallow
symlink .gitattributes (and .git*) from entering the index, the way we
disallow ".git".
