I: git archive --worktree-attributes doesn't exclude .gitattributes anymore

Sending again, the list strips html

Oh many thanks for your answer Jeff!
I was wondering about a fault in my side!
I was already building 1.8.3 when I sent the first mail...
Anyway

 your software has a bunch of tests that make compilation a little slow 
(and no, I don't want to disable them, they are there for a really good 
reason).

Just a question, is it possible to add a new test for handling this kind of regressions?
And

 second, is it possible to have a patch for this problem? I'll be glad 
to backport in debian, or to take care of updating the whole git package
 (it is already in experimental BTW)

Thanks
G.

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).
