This described its purpose better, especially when used with
git_allattrs().
You probably meant s/described/describes/ but more importantly does it
really? It is a structure used to probe into the attributes system for the
state of various attributes on a path, and the set of possible states
includes "there is no value" (aka unset), so it feels actively wrong to
call it attr_value and that is why I didn't call it in the first place.

I also think git_all_attrs() (i.e. word-break underscore after "all") is
more in line with the naming throughout the codebase, after looking at
output from

  $ git grep -e _all'[a-z]' --and --not -e alloc -e _all_ -- '*.c'

Other than these, and the earlier comment about the copy&paste done from
git_checkattr (which by the way should probably be "git_check_attr"), it
seems that the series mostly consist of good clean-ups and an addition of
a new and (probably) useful feature that is straightforward. Nice.

Thanks.
