Checking-out and checking-in
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-The attribute `crlf` affects how the contents stored in the
+These attributes affect how the contents stored in the
repository are copied to the working tree files when commands
-such as `git checkout` and `git merge` run. It also affects how
+such as `git checkout` and `git merge` run. They also affect how
git stores the contents you prepare in the working tree in the
repository upon `git add` and `git commit`.
+`crlf`
+^^^^^^
+
+This attribute controls the line-ending convention.
+
Set::
Setting the `crlf` attribute on a path is meant to mark
upon checkout.
+`ident`
+^^^^^^^
+
+When the attribute `ident` is set to a path, git replaces
+`$ident$` in the blob object with `$ident:`, followed by
+40-character hexadecimal blob object name, followed by a dollar
+sign `$` upon checkout. Any byte sequence that begins with
+`$ident:` and ends with `$` in the worktree file is replaced
+with `$ident$` upon check-in.
+
+
+Interaction between checkin/checkout attributes
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+In the check-in codepath, the worktree file is first converted
+with `ident` (if specified), and then with `crlf` (again, if
+specified and applicable).
+
+In the check-out codepath, the blob content is first converted
+with `crlf`, and then `ident`.
