Re: [PATCH 4/5] attr: do not respect symlinks for in-tree .gitattributes

Let's err on the safe side and disable symlinks to outside repo by
default (or even all symlinks on .gitattributes and .gitignore as the
first step)

What I learned from my changes in .gitignore is, if we have not
forbidden something, people likely find some creative use for it.

Yup.  Supporting any symlink in-tree is like requiring Git to be
used only on symlink-capable filesystems.  Not allowing it sounds
like a very sensible option and unlike true contents, there is no
downside to give that limitation to things like .git<anything>.

Shouldn't we do the same for .gitmodules while we are at it?
