Someone asked in a private reply how this interacts with t0003.

t0003 tries check-attr in a bare repository.  The question is, is that
a desirable feature, and are people relying on it?  If people are
relying on it, perhaps the intuitive behavior would be to make
check-attr use an only-look-at-HEAD mode by default when running in a
bare repo.

How do I use the only-look-at-HEAD mode from a non-bare repo?  If I
want attributes with respect to some other commit instead of HEAD, is
there a syntax for that?  The command doesn't seem to have been well
thought out.

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
