Subject: git support for "xattrs" (extended filesystem attributes)?
Message-ID: <5b4c09a9-64bb-e672-e604-120563fc1ad6@das-werkstatt.com>

Hi everyone :)

I'm evaluating and testing extended attributes (xattrs) for professional 
archival collection use.
I couldn't find any proper documentation/information on how (well) git 
supports including xattrs in version control.

I assume behavior may be similar to any other property-change of 
files/folders?
Would it be possible to have bit-proof preservation of all xattrs? (even 
larger ones).

I'm grateful for any insights, pointers or comments. :D


Thanks in advance,
Peter B.
