```
Second try at handling macro expansion in gitattribute files
in a deterministic way.

Henrik Grubbström (Grubba) (3):
  Attr: Fixed debug output for macro expansion.
  Attr: Allow multiple changes to an attribute on the same line.
  Attr: Expand macros immediately when encountered.

When debug_set() was called during macro expansion, it
received a pointer to a struct git_attr rather than a
string.

When using macros it isn't inconceivable to have an attribute
being set by a macro, and then being reset explicitly. Always
use the latest value.

When using macros it is otherwise hard to know whether an
attribute set by the macro should override an already set
attribute. Consider the following .gitattributes file:

[attr]mybinary	binary -ident
*		ident
foo.bin		mybinary
bar.bin		mybinary ident

Without this patch both foo.bin and bar.bin will have
the ident attribute set, which is probably not what
the user expects. With this patch foo.bin will have an
unset ident attribute, while bar.bin will have it set.
