The example want's to explain how 'To see how attributes "crlf" and
"indent" are set for different paths.'

Spell the selected attribute correctly.

Technically the text and code after this patch is more "correct".

Back when I wrote the original, 530e741c (Start preparing the API
documents., 2007-11-24), however, I did mean to use "ident", iow,
the introductory text has typo, and the code sample is correct.
There wasn't any "indent" attribute that is natively recognised by
Git back then for git_attr("indent") would have made sense, either.

So perhaps update the introductory text instead?
