Curious.
Shouldn't the call chain look like:
    write_archive()
    ->write_archive_entries()
      ->unpack_trees() to read the tree into the in-core index
      ->git_attr_set_direction()
      ->read_tree_recursive()
        ->write_archive_entry()
          ->git_checkattr()

Ah, bootstrap_attr_stack() and prepare_attr_stack() still assume that you won't be doing any per-level attributes in a bare repository because the concept of attributes is inherently tied to having a work tree from their point of view.

How about this "mostly re-indent with four line removal" patch?
