Re: [PATCH 03/24] attr: remove an implicit dependency on the_index

> Make the attr API take an index_state instead of assuming the_index in
> attr code. All call sites are converted blindly to keep the patch
> simple and retain current behavior. Individual call sites may receive
> further updates to use the right index instead of the_index.
> 
> There is one ugly temporary workaround added in attr.c that needs some
> more explanation.

> Commit c24f3abace (apply: file commited with CRLF should roundtrip
> diff and apply - 2017-08-19) forces one convert_to_git() call to NOT
> read the index at all. But what do you know, we read it anyway by
> falling back to the_index. When "istate" from convert_to_git is now
> propagated down to read_attr_from_array() we will hit segfault
