Perhaps that immediately suggests an implementation to someone already

perhaps http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gitattributes.html
and http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-check-attr.html
can help you?

No, thanks, saw them, but .gitattributes is in fact in the same category as 
.gitignore, which would _be_ a property.

If you do this stuff in files scattered around the tree, updating and moving 
stuff becomes a pain -- the tool would need to go edit files.
