the problem with this is dealing with the attributes outside of git
(especially when the filesystem can't store the attributes nativly,
specificly including things like owners when not running as root)
In which case you should not be able to manipulate them (as you
could not test the result) and any commits could not affect them,
meaning they'd just stay unchanged.

the unix philosophy basically involves
giving you enough rope to hang yourself.
and then some more, just to be sure.
