Subject: git-check-attr: Fix command-line handling to match docs
X-Git-Tag: v1.7.7-rc0~23^2~7
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ca64d061e0ddf7fa1496a15c75eb5e730c4360e0;p=git.git

git-check-attr: Fix command-line handling to match docs

According to the git-check-attr synopsis, if the '--stdin' option is
used then no pathnames are expected on the command line.  Change the
behavior to match this description; namely, if '--stdin' is used but
not '--', then treat all command-line arguments as attribute names.
