Yes. But just in case those .gitattributes exist by accident (for
example you access a bare repository from a worktree of another
repository). I don't want to check cwd for .gitattributes everytime I
want to use git-archive :)

Anyway if I do "git-archive <commit>" it should read .gitattributes
from that commit, not from working directory.
