I tried to put .gitattributes or .git/info/attributes, the file is the following

The archive gets created, but every file is inside, no exclusions at all.

I suspect a regression between git 1.7 and 1.8

Yes, there was a regression with matching directory names in
gitattributes in v1.8.1.1. The regression is fixed in v1.8.1.6 and
above.

If upgrading is too hard, I think you can work around it by putting
"win_build/" instead of "win_build" in your .gitattributes (after
v1.8.1.6, both should work for your case).
