How do I use the only-look-at-HEAD mode from a non-bare repo? If I want attributes with respect to some other commit instead of HEAD, is there a syntax for that? The command doesn't seem to have been well thought out.
I agree that it would be nice for "git check-attr" to handle this case.
Currently, I believe that one has to resort to a temporary index file
via something like
(
export GIT_INDEX_FILE="$(mktemp)"
git read-tree HEAD
git check-attr --cached ...
rm "$GIT_INDEX_FILE"
)
