This small series extends the pathspec magic to allow users to specify
attributes that files must have in order for a pathspec to 'match' a file.
One potential use for this is to allow a repository to specify attributes for a
set of files. The user can then specify that attribute as a pathspec to
perform various operations only on that set of files. One simple example:
git ls-files -- ":(attr:text)"
can be used to list all of the files with the 'text' attribute.

pathspec: allow querying for attributes
