Re: [PATCH] git-archive: ignore prefix when checking file attribute

2008/4/9, René Scharfe [off-list ref]:

Ulrik Sverdrup noticed that git-archive doesn't correctly apply the attribute
 export-subst when the option --prefix is given, too.

 When it checked if a file has the attribute turned on, git-archive would try
 to look up the full path -- including the prefix -- in .gitattributes.  That's
 wrong, as the prefix doesn't need to have any relation to any existing
 directories, tracked or not.

 This patch makes git-archive ignore the prefix when looking up if value of the
 attribute export-subst for a file.

 Ulrik, does this patch fix the problem for you?  It applies to v1.5.4.4 and
 v1.5.5 equally.

Thanks for the patch René!

First I reproduced my problem on vanilla git v1.5.5, and it is still
there as in v.1.5.4.4.
I applied this patch and that fixed my issue, testing both tar and zip.
