End-of-line comments are prompted with "is not a valid attribute name"

I use end-of-line comments in my .gitattributes file, and it is often (not always present, but often) prompted with '# is not a valid attribute name: .gitattributes:1' when performing many operations.

This is my .gitattributes: ``` res/csv/*.txt eol=lf # 保证csv为lf，以匹配解析格式

# Custom for Visual Studio *.cs diff=csharp ```

When performing certain operations: ···shell

# is not a valid attribute name: .gitattributes:1 On branch master Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.

nothing to commit, working tree clean ···

Other repositories that have .gitattributes files and include end-of-line comments do the same thing. I'm sure there are no special characters in my files.

I do not think of any version of Git ignoring what you wrote after # (including #) in the middle of the line.

I know I designed the parser to allow this as a comment, though.

So

This is totally expected; nothing to see here.

To put it another way, we do not have "end-of-line comment" (i.e. the leading part of a line has payload, but the line is chomped in the middle with a comment character and the remainder of the line is ignored) at all. We have "commented line" (in other words, a line that is totally commented out and gets ignored).

I think it is very clearly documented in "git help attributes":

    A `gitattributes` file is a simple text file that gives
    `attributes` to pathnames.

    Each line in `gitattributes` file is of form:

            pattern attr1 attr2 ...

    That is, a pattern followed by an attributes list,
    separated by whitespaces. Leading and trailing whitespaces are
    ignored. Lines that begin with '#' are ignored. Patterns
    that begin with a double quote are quoted in C style.

I see, thanks for the answer. I was fooled by the VSCode highlighting, but also because I didn't try to figure out the documentation carefully.
