Re: git-archive --worktree-attributes (1.8.2)

Hi,

 In the help for git-archive it states:

       --worktree-attributes
           Look for attributes in .gitattributes in working directory too.
...

The worktree-attributes should read from the worktree.  It should
not pay any attention to where you are in the directory hierarchy,
i.e. your current working directory (aka $cwd).

Would you accept a patch that either adds an option to explicitly set
the .gitattributes file or would let --worktree-attributes look in
$PWD.

The former, possibly, if accompanied with a good justification and
implemented cleanly.

The latter, definitely not.
