Ok.  I'll shortly post an updated patch with some test cases.

As for documentation, I suppose that would mean documenting the
"foreign ident" concept as a whole, as I don't think there's currently
anything about that in the documentation?  Would the `ident` section
of gitattributes.txt be a suitable place for this?


Thanks
