Hi there,

it seems that 'git filter-branch' ignores the setting in .git/info/attributes - is that correct?

Does .gitattributes work reliably?

Specifically, I tried

	git filter-branch \
		--tree-filter 'echo "* text=auto" > .gitattributes' \
             	--tag-name-filter cat
		--prune-empty -- --all

It seems to work, but I am not sure whether I missed anything.

Greetings, Norbert
