Merge branch 'sl/sparse-check-attr'

Teach "git check-attr" work better with sparse-index.

* sl/sparse-check-attr:
  check-attr: integrate with sparse-index
  attr.c: read attributes in a sparse directory
  t1092: add tests for 'git check-attr'

-	 * The .gitattributes file only applies to files within its
-	 * parent directory. In the case of cone-mode sparse-checkout,
-	 * the .gitattributes file is sparse if and only if all paths
-	 * within that directory are also sparse. Thus, don't load the
-	 * .gitattributes file since it will not matter.
-	 *
-	 * In the case of a sparse index, it is critical that we don't go
-	 * looking for a .gitattributes file, as doing so would cause the
-	 * index to expand.
+	 * When handling sparse-checkouts, .gitattributes files
+	 * may reside within a sparse directory. We distinguish
+	 * whether a path exists directly in the index or not by
+	 * evaluating if 'pos' is negative.
+	 * If 'pos' is negative, the path is not directly present
+	 * in the index and is likely within a sparse directory.
+	 * For paths not in the index, The absolute value of 'pos'
+	 * minus 1 gives us the position where the path would be
+	 * inserted in lexicographic order within the index.
+	 * We then subtract another 1 from this value
+	 * (sparse_dir_pos = -pos - 2) to find the position of the
+	 * last index entry which is lexicographically smaller than
+	 * the path. This would be the sparse directory containing
+	 * the path. By identifying the sparse directory containing
+	 * the path, we can correctly read the attributes specified
+	 * in the .gitattributes file from the tree object of the
+	 * sparse directory.
