[PATCH 0/4] Attr fixes

This fixes a few issues surrounding .gitattributes files and usage of the merge machinery outside of "git merge". All were issues I found and fixed while working on merge-ort.

Patches 1, 3, and 4 are definitely fixes. Patch 2 only touches a testcase and might be a fix, or might just change it to a different kind of brokenness -- either way, it leaves the affected testcase as test_expect_failure. I'm kind of curious what is correct expected behavior for that and similar testcases. I probably won't implement it, and I'm worried it might be rife with multi-layered corner cases and no good way to define correct behavior for all cases.

Elijah Newren (4):
  t6038: make tests fail for the right reason
  t6038: fix test with obviously incorrect expectations
  merge: make merge.renormalize work for all uses of merge machinery
  checkout: support renormalization with checkout -m <paths>
