Thanks. I can reproduce this easily with git.git, e.g.
$ cat >>.git/info/attributes <<-\EOF
Documentation/git-merge.txt conflict-marker-size=32
Documentation/user-manual.txt conflict-marker-size=32
EOF
$ git status ':(attr:conflict-marker-size=32)'
would die (presumably) the same way.
By the way, I just noticed that the <specification> part of the
':(attr:<specification>)' syntax would need to be rethought. In the
.gitattributes file everybody has, we see these lines:
*.[ch] whitespace=indent,trail,space
*.sh whitespace=indent,trail,space
but because comma is a special separator in the pathspec magic
system, we cannot do
$ git status ':(attr:whitespace=indent,trail,space)'
I think we should introduce a quoting mechanism to hide these commas
from the pathspec magic splitter, e.g.
where attr_value_unquote() would copy string while unquoting some
special characters (i.e. at least ' ' and ',' because they are used
as syntactic elements in the higher level; there might be others).
