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.

two problems with this

1. you do want to be able to manipulate them

1a. how do you reconcile a conflict during a merge?

2. git is a series of snapshots, what does it mean to 'stay unchanged'?
