A common pattern to check N attributes for many paths is to

 (1) prepare an array A of N git_attr_check_elem items;
 (2) call git_attr() to intern the N attribute names and fill A;

Does the word 'intern' here mean internalize?  It took me a few reads to
stop picturing college students running around an office :)

The verb comes from Lisp world where you "intern" a string to make a
symbol.
